I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

Almost every day. Its my primary way to play games or sometimes ill watch something on it. Its a game changer when traveling too. I bought it to support Linux gaming in general and due to its open nature.

How have you found offline mode to work while traveling? I remember hearing early on it was a bear to use without wifi without extra steps.

It works fine. The only thing is you need to be online to go offline so a quick tip is to have your phone as a hotspot and you can quickly hotspot to the phone to swap modes. Or do it before leaving the house.

Also I tend to play a lot of emulated games when flying to get as much from the battery as possible.

Good stuff, that's not terrible at all, just the tinyest bit of preplanning - the phone hotspot is an excellent idea.
