It advertises being the easiest way to get into PC gaming and I really hope that’s true and that’s been my biggest selling point along with it’s price tag. I’ve never rly been a pc gamer and find it’s a bit complicated. I barely got the tech skills to install some emulators on my laptop. Comparing the Steam Deck to competitors like the Legion Go and Rouge Alley which have better specs at only a little larger price tag but how user friendly are they? Is the Steam Deck really any easier to use then these competitors?
You can use the SteamDeck without ever going into the desktop mode. Basically you can use the SteamDeck like it was a standard console without ever getting into the meat and bones of the OS (operating system). If you wanted to do something more advanced and things you can’t usually do on a standard console, you can. The main thing people would struggle with regarding it would be directory locations, or in an end user terminology; your folders and file locations because you don’t have your standard C:\ drive location. Sometimes when installing mods like the Moguri mod for ff9, you kind of need to know file locations. That’s honestly the hardest part if you’re scared about the Linux OS.
