Spend $350 on a steam deck and $120 to upgrade it to 1 TB storage.
Only negative is if you're into multi-player fps games like fortnite and such. Anti cheat software a lot of them use aren't Linux compatible. You can install windows, but that's a pretty meh experience.
Can you use a steam deck like a laptop? Can you do PC stuff with it like web browsing, email, etc?
I replaced my dying gaming laptop with a steam deck about a year ago now. At home I have it set up in a dock, connected to a good monitor with keyboard and mouse.
It does everything I want it to except, and I just found this out this week when trying to make some proxy cards so my kid can play Lorcana, that Arch Linux apparently doesn't support Brother printer drivers currently. Something about not having CUPS? I don't know but I'm a total Linux layman.
Fyi I just started !lorcana@lemmy.world
Oof. Sorry bro. You ran afoul of printers and cups. Brother used to be better than that.
Dont use printers. Problems solved. 😉
Edit, its linux at this point, you can emulated it one way or another right? It's all files.
