It's an outstanding machine for little rogue-likes at the bus stop, or some Star Fox, but I'm not even going to try to load something like Expedition 33 on it.
I tweaked the settings for Expedition 33 and played it on the steamdeck beautifully. Did nearly everything. Runs great.
Oh it's possible, and it runs well, but I'd never recommend the SD for that.
But it's all in your expectations I guess. I don't use my SD for serious game sessions, I use it to goof off in bed, or on a plane or ferry.
A lot of people I've spoken to seem to think it's a replacement for a ps5 or a full sized gaming computer. It's enough to get by, but I wouldn't tell anyone to chuck their setup and get one.
