    A linux PC would involve some amount of tinkering.

    The steam deck is foolproof, a 6 year old can play games on it with no issues, so it’s a console. The PC mode is just a nice extra.

      The Steam Deck definitely requires a certain amount of tinkering, depending on when you got it and what games you’re trying to play!

      Linux can be configured to be idiot friendly y’know, and it doesn’t make it suddenly not Linux. The SteamDeck has the capabilities of a full fledged Linux PC with the PC mode, it very much isn’t just a console.
