I've been hesitant to buy one just because it seems like the screen is subpar. The OLED Switch screen is beautiful, and I'd really like to see something like that in the Steam Deck before purchasing it.
They really thought through things in terms of usability. If you really want to use it as a Linux machine to do certain things, it's there for you. If you're buying it for a kid to play PC games on, it's just as suitable.
With the abundance of repurposed displays by Waveshare and co., maybe someone will some day come up with a better display module?
