My wife bought a Steam Deck a few months ago; she hasn't touched her Switch since then, and she's actually considering just getting rid of it.

Installed SteamOS on my ROG Ally and now it has turned into a real ally. I don’t think my Switch has been charged in weeks.

Is it working good? I also tried it also but it was draining the battery even when I turned it off.

Ended up installing Bazzite.

You have to install decky and the tdp plugin to get proper control of the power system. So far so good.

There is virtually nothing the Switch can do that the Steam Deck can't. It's completely redundant if you have a Deck in my opinion.

The thing the switch can do is play closed garden games because nintendo refuses to release their games anywhere outside of their own consoles

I guess you could use an emulator but thats not ideal for 95% of the population

I also abandoned my switch for a steam deck but uhhh the obvious thing it can’t do is play switch games lol

It runs most switch games better than the switch. You just can't play any of them online. (At least not easily, AFAIK.)

I had a switch1. Enjoyed a couple games on it. On a whim, I bought mario party # whatever to play with friends, downloaded it, and discovered that we couldn't play it with the controllers I had. I wasn't about to buy even more controllers, so I decided to refund the game. Nintendo said no, as per their refund policy no game that has been downloaded can be refunded. I gave away my switch that same week. Breath of the wild runs better on my pc anyway.
