In 2022, the Steam Deck jump-started the PC gaming handheld scene, and confidently showed the world that Linux could be leveraged for a smooth and performant gaming experience. A mainstream audience embraced it. Critics applauded its ease-of-use compared to Windows. And now Lenovo validates it all with the world’s first officially licensed handheld powered by SteamOS.
I assure you that this is the first of many!

@killyourfm did the deck really only come out in 2022? It's become such a fixture that it feels like it should have been around longer!

@killyourfm this review made me wish I still enjoyed gaming so I could justify buying one!
