I love my Steam deck, and bounce between how heavily I use it vs the switch* or PS5 depending on the games I'm into at the moment. But misrepresenting its utility as a modern living room PC (like the OP) doesn't help anyone and is just going to leave people disappointed.
The PS5 is probably my smallest library (and mostly PS4 games, a lot of which were before I had a PC), but it's definitely plenty capable and I don't regret the purchase at all. (The controller is also the coolest non graphics addition to gaming I've experienced in a long time).
*The switch desperately needs a 3rd party replacement for the controllers, though, because the joycons are bad brand new.
Did I do this?
No, the OP did.
Edited for clarity.
