Steamdeck is a great handheld mini pc. I bought it a few months ago and did also use it to learn more about Linux. I've even set up dualboot on my desktop with Linux and am using it primarily now. For new owners I recommend cryobytes scripts for a bit of performance+ https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities Also the whole emulation suite is great. https://www.emudeck.com/

He's also maintaining an impressive piece of software[1] that helps optimize your Steam Deck. Worst case scenario, if you don't find the game you're looking for in his videos, chances are you will find a decent configuration on SteamDeckHQ[2] [0]: https://youtube.com/@cryobyte33 [1]: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities [2]: https://steamdeckhq.com/game-settings/
