I bought my mother a laptop and it came preinstalled with a bunch of games and software that it threw me off, like wtf I dont want or need this what happened, I had a mac at the time and felt limited to what it can or cant do. So last year I built myself a pc and before installing windows I was already looking at steam decks and noted that it seems games runs quite well, so I went with Mint, and there where some features that lacked but discovered I could modify on my on and it just works! I do have to admin that it was a bit different in my work life, since do graphic design, but its been interesting switching over to inkscape and gimp.
Wow! I might just try it! It seems crazy cheap and they have word wide shipping. I have wanted some pieces of geek decor (master sword, firefly ship, etc) and I dont have a machine. So I will make a list of stuff and see if I can place an order.
