    Support is important, but being a PC, you can get that from 3rd party solutions like ChimeraOS

      I am someone who mods every console that I have. I even mod https://lemmy.world/c/linuxcracksupport here. But fiddling with the Deck can be very tedious and tiring. It’s like modding a game - you’ll spend hours getting it right, only for your will to play the game be gone.

      I’ve even taken to not doing beta updates anymore on the Deck because the uncertainy that they cause just gets into my playtime. It somewhat ruins the concept of the Deck, which is ‘pick up for a few minutes and play’ in my mind.

        Could some sort of dual boot be an option? Have a clean version of the OS that boots by default for the quick gaming sessions, then a modded version for when you feel like playing with the console itself. When your tweaks are solid, copy them to the gaming version.

        I don’t know enough about the Steam Deck or modding to know if it’s plausible though.
