This is the smallest obstacle, IMO. You could get rid of (or leave a small dual boot partition of) Windows, and use one of the good Linux distros tailored to a Steam OS-like experience, like Chimera or Bazzite, and just keep ticking along without missing a beat.
I love my Deck, but I'm already researching the process of eventually transitioning off of it simply because the screen is too tiny for my 40s eyes, and I don't get to use it handheld as much as I'd like. This upcoming wave of Deck-like handhelds with 9 and 10 inch screens will be looking very good in this upcoming year.

You can't really describe colors to someone blind from birth. They just have no reference or mechanical ability to be able to see it.
Someone below linked a Tommy Edison video (it's a good watch, as is pretty much everything on his entire channel) where he talks about how people have tried to describe color to him all his life, but nothing they've said has ever actually made him see a color. He doesn't see anything, he doesn't have a working optic nerve.
I mean, they'll generate some short term cash, sure, but they just lost their entire customer base. No developer of any size can take on the liability and risk of working with Unity again, even if Unity realizes how badly they screwed this up and reverts this.
I only "pirate" stuff that isn't being sold by a rights-holder at the current time.
There's a stunning amount of stuff out there (like really old games that have now-defunct devs and publishers, for example) that isn't being offered first-hand for sale any longer.
Morally, I think it's our duty to use and preserve such things, so that they aren't lost to time. Some may say that it's technically piracy, but... I really don't see it that way.
Absolutely. Valve is the only player in this game that doesn't have to turn their profits on the actual devices themselves.
And Valve's definitely turning backflips that tons of people are entering the PC gaming space and Steam store on handhelds that Valve didn't have to subsidize.
Since I WFH 95% of the time, and have installed life-changing washlet bidet this year, I absolutely try to avoid the solid waste process while away from home.
But if I'm in the office and it can't be helped, there's a stall way back in the back of the restroom on my floor. It's out of the way, so no one can just casually walk up to it without you knowing or having reaction time. And the door closes completely with no side gaps as well.
If it's a sensor flusher, and you're able to hang a piece of TP over the sensor (like it's not built into the wall or anything), you can do that to keep it from flushing when you're not ready.
Then when you're all done, just remove the TP and toss it into the bowl for the auto-flush as you're walking away.
I'll take a larger screen, the 7" is far too tiny for me for almost any game with text or captioning. Something in the 9" or slightly larger range would be golden, and you could get most of the way there by getting rid of the bezels. The actual Deck itself wouldn't have to be that much bigger to accommodate the rest.
Being a 40s gamer with bad eyes, the only thing I dislike about the Deck is the small screen size, which keeps me from using it handheld as much as I'd like to.
But it's my only PC currently, and it's fantastic docked with Bluetooth M&K. In every other way but the native screen, it's exceeded my expectations.
Down the road when it's time to upgrade, I'll probably get a device with a larger screen, but I will always love the Deck, which has convinced me that I'll probably never main a laptop again.
As an episode in general, any one ever where 1) someone/something messes around with the timeline, screwing up a bunch of stuff 2) they go back and do a bunch of stuff to fix it, timeline returns to normal, fade to 3) end of episode, everything is as if nothing ever happened, all characters, in actuality, DID NOTHING, and NOTHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED
Every time I run into this episode in Star Trek or any other sci-fi, I want that hour of my life back. Like, why did I just watch all of this, if literally nothing happened?
