I already launch most controller-based non-Steam games I own through the “add a non-Steam game to Steam” feature because Steam Input is the best game controller driver/manager I’ve used and it’s not remotely close.

It’s impressive that’s still the case when SteamOS is running a translation layer that Windows doesn’t have to.
Also, SteamOS is actually a pretty fully-featured OS, and it’s based off of Linux, so it’s not *that* specialized, besides the UI.

There are no masked people hunting people on the streets and putting them into vans without plates. Videos about that happening almost every day, especially so in last week are all fakes and Russian propaganda (even when Ukrainian sources write about it).
The source you linked doesn’t support your claims at all.
Some people got arrested relating to not following the law relating to the draft. Yes, that’s terrifying. It’s still not even remotely close to what you are claiming.

The difference between the SteamDeck and the PlayStation that makes the Steam Deck a “personal computer” is that you can run whatever software you want on a Steam Deck. SteamOS even comes with “desktop mode” which works much like you’d expect a desktop Linux OS to work. If you don’t like SteamOS, you can simply install a different OS.

You can plug a keyboard, mouse, and monitor into a Steam deck

In general the Steam Deck is not the kind of device that is going to run things at max settings. You are gonna play at 720p30FPS low settings but be happy you can play at all on a train or airplane. It’s really meant to be a competitor to the Nintendo Switch than a replacement for a gaming PC.
You can stream from your PC to your couch or bed if you are at home.
