Yep. I've been so incredibly pleasantly surprised by my steamdeck. Gaming mode works so flawlessly, I haven't had any problems getting any non steam games to run. Switching to desktop mode is so fast and even when there's like 8Gb of os and app updates it's done in minutes and the package manager is actually verbose and tells you exactly what it's doing and how long it expects to take unlike windows updates. I can't imagine dealing with windows on a handheld, especially once windows 10 goes EOL. I'm actually gearing up to switch my desktop over to Linux since I've been so pleased with gaming on the deck. People say windows "just works" but I've had way more issues with windows over the years than I have with my steamdeck so far.
