So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn't really done much research and I haven't really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I'm worried this is something I'll use a few times and forget about it.

What's something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

You're in for a good time with that thing. Its also great if you want to do more with it as you feel comfortable doing.

As for my impulsive buy? Id say the same thing as yours, when the steam deck came out I immediately pre ordered it. I had been waiting for a good PC handheld experience for a very long time and Valve were the ones to show up unlike the very bad GPD Win I used a couple years prior.

The only thing I knew about it was that it was going to use linux so while I was waiting I started to learn about it and actually use it on my main PC over windows and I have never looked back since.

Haha same, after using the SD for so long, I started to question why I was still using the abomination known as Windows on my actual gaming PC. I switched 3 months ago and haven't used Windows since. I realized that all I really used it for was Steam games and web apps, and Linux can do both perfectly.

Proton is really great.
