Deck is excellently built (have been abusing it for 8 months now) and you can order spare parts from ifixit: https://www.ifixit.com/Parts/Steam_Deck

My only gripe is that they chose not to put the USB-C connector on a separate, easily exchangeable PCB. but other than that, best gadget in a looong time. And the advantages it gives to Linux gaming in general is very nice (I have gamed exclusively on Linux for 5 years, and it has never been better).

Out of the box linux gaming is amazing with steam and proton, and some open sources and indies are publishing native linux installer / executable.

The hardest and most brittle part is the drivers, I find it hard and technical extensive to install drivers.
