I do the vast majority of my gaming on my handheld with Bazzite configured to feel like a Steam Deck.

I basically don't leave the Steam UX. Valve has done such a great job here I don't see why any Linux user would consider buying games anywhere else.

The heroic launcher looks like it was trying to solve this and let you use cheaper gog games in your normal steam library. And I've seen similar tools for emulators to show up basically like native steam games

Heroic is the best attempt so far, but when comes to handheld UX, it’s meh.

Okay. But I still probably have to hop into desktop mode to configure stuff.

I don't even know how to install non steam applications on my current stepup.

What handheld do you use? I'm window shopping an upgrade from my miyoo mini.

Lenovo Legion Go.

The original one with detachable controllers. The SSD is really easy to replace, and my logic is the controllers have to go bad eventually.

Edit: comes with a nice case and 2 USB c ports.

Be realist with what games will work, frame gen only goes so far.

I'd rather spend 80$ on new controllers vs 600$ on a new device.
