If you want to stay in the Nintendo eco system (or at least have no issue with that), the Switch 2 would be the better choice - better hardware, more options with the mouse feature and placing on a TV or display, etc.
If you want to be more flexible, like tempering around with a bit of config stuff and game / graphics settings, controller layout, etc. then I suggest the Steam Deck. I can honestly say that it's a lot of fun.
Non-Steam games are sometimes tedious to install and configure Proton with the right version of proton etc, bit you don't have to do any of that, it's just options that come with the device.
Secret of Mana. Played it with friends like crazy. One even had the extension thing to connect 3 controllers - guess where we hung out most of the time.
Bethesda is known for crashes that happen later in the game, due to memory leaking in now progresses save games. If I remember correctly, they had multiple issues with original Oblivion and even Skyrim where the save game would cause loading so much stuff into memory that there was little room left. Crappy memory cleaning then did the rest.
I was about to reply, but couldn't come up with anything but a demotivated sigh.
Instead, I'll leave you this comment as a written version of that very air leaving my body as a result of this hopefully sarcastic comment of yours.
