I love my Deck. If they release a variant with LTE modem (not even 5G) and no controllers, I don't care how thick it is, make it on the same AMD SoC!
My god this. I can't count the number of times I've thought "I wish I could buy a steam deck with the controllers ripped off". At a point, I'd take that and then a cheap nokia flip phone that can do wifi-hotspot and call it a day. Separate all the bs I do on my phone from the calling and texting part.
Check out Legion Go. It has Switch-like removable controllers. Not my choice of device but maybe you'll like it.
I do like the look of that form factor a lot... And I don't see any major red flags in the specs that make me think it won't work with Linux... Thanks!
Actually, I kind of want one too now.
I think there is even a Bazzite release for it 😉
Bigger trouble would be having to deal with the carriers... Dealing with the carriers is going to be a huge PITA.
