A Steam Deck won't fight you every step of the way.

Proprietary closed hardware is not great for home brew projects. =)

rather get a used DS for cheap than help pay for GabeN's next hyper-yacht.

A Steam Deck is also X times more powerful.

The decision-making here involved more passion than logic, clearly. And that's good. :)

Right, because the Deck is open source hardware...

I have a Steam Deck instead of a Switch for that reason. Doesn't stop me from admiring and envying the form factor, unfortunately.

I do think it would be fun to have a plugin and be able to control lights from the Steam Deck menus, too, though. Just haven't gotten around to trying.
