I wish the Steam Deck didn't have competition in the handheld gaming PC market
I feel like it would push devs to optimize for better performance on low-end hardware and to create graphics settings for that hardware like Cyberpunk 2077 did in patch 1.52.
While a majority of handheld gaming PCs do run Linux and that has led to some devs putting more thought into Linux compatibility I'd be wary of some new device coming into the spotlight and shifting the tide back towards Windows.
The uniformity and lifespan of traditional consoles also leads to some interesting modding communities, a lot of peripherals, and the extended availability of parts for repairs which is also nice to see. The Switch and Vita being examples of this to different degrees.
I know the Steam Deck is still one of the top handheld gaming PCs but I guess what I'd want to see is a lack of competition or revisions for a couple years so that it has a chance to saturate the market.
I feel like marginal improvements like you see in SBC gaming devices (shout out to !sbcgaming@lemmy.ml) such as the RG350 to RG351 lead to a lot of buyers remorse and e-waste.
It's still a marginal improvement that led to a lot of people selling their year old devices. I'd rather see third party screen mods like DeckHD's 1200P mod.
