This little machine continues to surprise me

It honestly makes me wonder why i keep using windows on my main desktop if proton allows playing most anything i play
I only read of the rocky starts, i got mine with the recent steam sale at 10% off for the 64GB. Just need to get it a bigger SSD and I’ll be all set!
A 1tb microSD card is a pretty good compromise. Its just as fast as ssd storage and significantly easier to install.
I would have to disagree that any sdcard is as fast as an SSD.
Maybe a really fast sdcard and a really slow SSD?
Edit: oh maybe that is a steam-deck-specific thing? It's the SSD connection over USB2 or something?
No its Just that at some point disk speed provides marginal improvments for most games, especialy since most games were designed with hdd drivers in mind . And sd vs ssd in steam deck are at that point. There are exceptions to that, but they are pretty rare ( alghtough i cant remember one right now but i know i watched one comparison where nvme disk provided actual reasonable benefit compared to sata so i imagine its even bigger with sd card ). So unless you play very specific game a lot that you know benefits from fast disk speed then it dosent really matter that much.
I would think it would at the very least improve loading times?
I wouldn't call it no difference.
