Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

    Are they looking to become savvy? Linux. Are they looking to game? Steamdeck, or if they can wait a while, Steam Machine. Are they just wanting a device to check emails and watch *ahem* ‘internet videos?’ Android phone.

    Any other option will be more money for less value.

          Yeah, it just didn’t really answer the question, steam deck is gaming with PC capabilities as a side project at that form factor.

            I dock mine, hook it up to a TV.

            I run a local LLM on it.

            I do modelling/animating in Blender.

            I do game dev in Godot.

            I do video editing in ShotCut.

            I do image manipulation in Krita, mostly.

            I do these things far more often than I actually just play games on it.
