I’ve owned a Steam Deck for a while now, it’s pretty much as fussy as you want it to be. You can boot it up, download your games and be off to the races in minutes as easily as with any other console and you never have to see the Linux desktop. At the other end of the spectrum you can really get into the weeds with customisation and tinkering if that’s what you want, and the OS won’t get in your way. You can even replace it entirely.
IMO Valve have nailed usability while still treating their customers like adults with the Steam Deck and its an attitude that I hope we see more going forward.
