I'm not sure if a steam laptop would be successful. You can install steam on most laptops on the market (with some exceptions like ARM-based laptops or chomebooks). Same applies to a "steam console", just pick any small PC and put steam in autostart.

However, the deck features innovative controls and a rare form factor. There is just no device that has the same feature set as the steam deck.

any small PC

This is a pretty small niche though. I feel like (except for dev boxes and single-board computers) there aren't too many small PCs that would fit well near a TV. Even something like a steam deck SOC in a case around the size of a Mac mini would be great. Bonus points if they gave it a more powerful GPU

There's Frameworks AMD laptop mainboard which should perform even better than the Deck (better cooling, newer chip).

Yep you can put Manjaro onto a laptop and get just about the same experience.
