This site is much better for figuring that out.


Definitely do this, look up any games you might want to play on it and check the compatibility first.
Proton wont be able to play every game perfectly so you're better off checking ahead of time.

The alternative would be the Rog Ally X which is fully windows based and can be made to dual boot

edit: still big recommend the oled deck though, havent actually tried the rog ally x but might cave on one eventually

My co worker always buys the newest and sells the old one- like he just bought the white one, but he always asks for the highest used rate - he is OCD and keeps all his stuff clean so… better than rolling the dice on the e bay
Never saw the point in buying another Steam Deck for the OLED upgrade, and the color variations seem even dumber, I actually think the black looks better than the white, the transparent black they used on the special edition was the only one that looked appealing to me over standards but once again I wasn't about to buy another Steam Deck just for that. Personally I am waiting for an actual hardware upgrade, hoping Steam eventually does upgrades like Apple does for their iPads.

Don't hold your breath.

Yeah and I'm fine with that. Honestly the original Steam Deck I got felt like the type of device that should last me a long time. I just think I learned my lesson with the Switch how buying every revision is kinda stupid and just me getting suckered into buying what is essentially the same thing over and over because it might look a bit more fancy or have some minor improvements here or there. That and I got the max spec one they had originally for the LCD models so I think that adds to why I feel satisfied with what I got. It's not the type of thing I really use all the time anyways, but I do enjoy having it.
