I pre-ordered the original Steamdeck right when it was announced. I cancelled that, but ended up pre-ordering it again. My biggest draw to this handheld gaming machine was that it is a gaming machine meant for the masses that runs Linux. I’m a Linux guy. I also figured I could make some content about the Steamdeck for my YouTube channel.

But, the thing is, I’ve not been a gamer in 20 years. I used to game quite a bit, but not so much anymore. And it’s not like I don’t want to game. I wrote ages ago about how I really wanted to add gaming to my life again. I still have that interest, but my attention span when it comes to games just isn’t there.
