I'd rather have a quick, easy UI without paying for games separately. Suggestions? Wait for a MS/XBOX handheld?

Probably the Legion Go, then Asus Rog Ally extreme. They are both windows.

The Legion Go you can take off the controllers like a Switch and it can be used as a windows tablet and it has a bigger screen. The Go is huge though but its the most powerful out of the windows machines and can run AAA games. 144hz screen and 1080p resolution. Battery life is terrible though on the windows machines and you will probably played plugged in or with a battery backup.

The Deck i would recommend if you have a Steam library or plan to buy on Steam. From what I researched, its a bit difficult to run xbox gamepass on steam os and you would have to setup a partition and install windows.

Steam deck oled by far has the best battery life.

Anybody using RPCS3 on the SD notice a difference recently? NHL 2k10 has worked fine since I got my SD, but within the last couple weeks, it crashes within a minute of booting up. Seems like a new build of RPCS3 broke it? My other games seem to still run fine. Can anyone else confirm? I am not sure if it is even possible that my ROM suddenly corrupted, but I am not a computer guy. . .

I haven't used my Steam Deck in so long. I just fired it up and had 70 updates. I'm gonna see if my RCPS3 is still running well. I may reset it and start over. I'll report back when I get everything finished.
