    Steam Deck using Linux puts it above anything else in the handheld category. It’s truly a device you yourself can do anything with, with no limitations or hard locks.

    Not to mention the sw and hw support which both are excellent.

    Realising that there is absolutely no way for me to, for instance, make a local backup of saves / settings, not even a way to access them on my Switch is a very sobering experience.

      I’ve only realized just how unnecessarily locked down consoles are after i installed custom firmware on my 3ds. It feels like a basic feature to be able to export and backup your savegames but somehow that’s not allowed with stock firmware?!
