I dunno about running a steam deck like a computer.

I have one and while the gaming experience is top notch, and I'm sure general usage like surfing is fine, I can't imagine spending $400-600 just to use it like a computer, especially when things like Raspberry Pis exist as cheaper alternatives.

If you have a steam deck anyway, a used USB-C dock costs 30€ and tadaa, computer, mediaplayer, whatever.

I have a Dell USB-C dock hooked up to a multi monitor setup for work, and I plugged my steam deck into it on a whim.

BLOWN AWAY by how seamless the desktop experience is.
