Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.
It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.
Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.
It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.
If you don’t see the difference between a gaming console and a general purpose personal computer, I really don’t know what to tell you.
I can, but you seem to be confused as to what a Steam Deck is.
It’s a portable gaming console with in-built gaming controls. What do you think it is?
Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.
It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.
Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.
