I am using my PC for gaming 80% of the time. Instead of buying a new PC (mine is getting old), I was wondering if I can just buy a Steam Deck with docking station, to work as PC substitute.

How hard would it be to:

  1. Play strategy games with keyboard/mouse/screen setup.
  2. Mod steam games.
  3. Browse web through a browser that supports adblocking.
  4. Watch Netflix/D+/Twitch.
  5. Install random linux apps (e.g. Anki).
  6. Do some recreational python programming .

    Modding Steam games should also be relatively easy - just look in the compatdata directory (or use ProtonTricks to do it all for you).

    It’ll depend a bit on the game (direct binary changes are less likely to work), but it should be doable.
