I‘d say go with a laptop + controller for gaming. It just works better for “work” linux. I don‘t have a Steam Deck (waiting for 2.0) but I tested one extensively and I personally wouldn‘t want to work with it vs. simply [flips open laptop] Ta-Da!
Framework is cool, but overpriced for something you probably will never upgrade. + global tensions make part supply uncertain.
Tbh nobody knows what 2.0 will even be like. But there have been made crazy advancements in APUs since the steam deck came out, so I think it will eventually be a great product paired with SteamOS
