Right, juggling another distro. Strange. Right.
exactly, we juggle enough!
I wanna get one and immediately try get steam OS running on it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
PLEASE let us know how it goes.
If you're going for sonething like Bazzite or another atomic distro there's (in my experience) not much to juggle, it all updates itself, rollbacks are super easy if something goes arwry (which hasn't for a long time), I couldn't be happier.
Yeah, also going by the steam deck I trust valve's hardware quality.
