I pre-ordered the Deck way back on day 1 with the expectation that it would be a good emulation handheld, non-demanding indies, and Civ VI device, and that any modern gaming it ends up doing besides that would be gravy.
Proton turned out to be far more compatible than I ever imagined.
Still, I mostly do emulation, indies, and low-graphic strategy games, because anything with serious visuals, I don't want to play on handheld. But it is great to be able to continue whatever strategy or RPG savegame I've got going when I travel.
The steam decks power is just slightly lower than my desktop. I am still using an rx 470 4gb, so I think I would be so happy with a steam deck. I am not really playing anything too demanding anyway.
