I bought mine a few months ago despite never being a Steam user before and I love it. Sometimes I use it in handheld mode but it is too bulky for me, so most of the time I just have it hooked up to the TV and use a PS5 controller.
Only issue I have with it so far is that I couldn't find the packages for Arabic keyboard support in SteamOS. I have been using Linux for over 15 years and had no issue with Arabic input on other distros (Red Hat and Debian based), I just couldn't figure out where to look for them if they do exist. I never used Arch, so maybe that's why? If anyone has a clue please let me know.
Generally in arch you can set Arabic keyboard layout with the command
setxkbmap ara,us. If you're wanting to change the keyboard layout in game mode though that will probably require something else.That did it, thanks a lot!
