    My friend has had quite severe ill health, including some unfortunate, impromptu hospital trips. I bought them a Steam Deck as a gift, shortly before their health worsened, and it has literally been a lifesaver for them. It has been tremendously powerful for them to have a way to stay connected with their gaming friends, even when they can’t make it to their desk.

    I don’t own a Deck myself, but this alone would make me a big fan (though I also appreciate that the Steam Deck has made streamline gaming on my Linux desktop)

      Can confirm this.

      I got my Steam Deck when I caught Corona and stopped getting better. By now I can’t leave my bed but with the Deck I can at least play something. Otherwise I would have gone insane by now.
