Since I’d never been in the Steam ecosystem prior to my first Deck, I had one deck that was “pure”, and a second that was experimental. That way I could learn Linux, install things like cryo tools, chiaki, and other launchers without messing up my pure deck. Also, part of the process of experimentation is having a neutral sample to compare the experiments to. The experimental deck became my Diablo 4 and WoW machine until D4 released natively.
Instead of sitting inside to play my Steam Deck 100% of the time, I’ll sit on the porch outside to play. I have big dogs (130 pounds), so they’ll get it dirty and scratchy when bringing toys back to be thrown. So now I have an OG deck that I am less worried about scratching, another for experiments and booting windows since my computers are all Macs, and the third, my main gaming system, is a SE OLED…
