At this point I'd be hard pressed to consider this over my Steam Deck. We will see the specs later but I doubt it will really compete processing-wise or screen-wise.

The openness (full arch desktop) of the Steam Deck is also awesome while having a great UI that you never have to leave if you don't want to.

EDIT: I mistakenly called it "fedora desktop", my bad

Isn't the point of owning a switch to play games that aren't on the Steam Deck? Zelda, Mario, etc.?

With emulators those games can also be played on the Steam Deck.

Which is also a gray area. I personally am fine with it for older, depreciated consoles. But I won't emulate current gen games unless I'm also buying the game.. especially on the Nintendo platform where the games still have some "magic" to them, compared to the more generic games on other platforms that prioritize graphics over seemingly all other attributes.

Just so you know, it’s _deprecated_.

It was a solid autocorrect typo on my part, mb. But fair callout!
