I was using my steam deck for 100% of gaming since I got it, with my PC collecting dust. But I recently tried out Bazzite on my desktop. It's actually incredible. I had tried using my PC with my TV but having to drag down a keyboard and mouse to log in and open steam was a pain. Bazite makes the entire OS controller friendly, essentially the same as SteamOS. Now I'm able to make use of the much improved compute with the same UX.
1000x this.
When I grab the deck it's downtime mode for me now, keyboard/mouse time is work or side-project mode.
