The only PC I have at home is my professional device that my company gave me (I am a web developer) and I was not feeling confortable using it for everyday use or personal matters.

Now that I own a Steam Deck, I use it to play of course, but also as a Linux PC that I can connect to my Dell Docking station. I installed a bunch of software on it to work on personal projects (using Docker for example) and I feel like it’s powerful enough to handle everything I need to throw at it.

And you, do you use your Deck for other things than playing ?

    Nope. I do it too. The Steam deck is my computer. I have it docked to ab external monitor and use kb and mouse when I want to use it like a computer. Works really well. Sold laptops and desktops since using it like this.

    Gave my old personal PC (1050ti based computer) to my dad when I got this thing. I still have a Macbook for a lot of my personal stuff, but this machine is my daily driver for anything that needs a bit of power. Going great so far.
