**Guy buys Steam Deck, realizes it’s just a Linux laptop with extra steps, AITA for refunding it immediately?**
Look, I finally caved and bought a Steam Deck thinking I’d be gaming on the porcelain throne like some sort of futuristic king. First 10 minutes? Beautiful. I’m downloading *Cyberpunk 2077* and planning my new life as a portable PC gamer. 11th minute? I try to open Chrome to look up a build guide. The thing literally has a desktop mode that looks like my 2012 IT guy’s nightmare. I close it, boot into “Gaming Mode,” and it's just a big touchscreen with a calculator-level battery life.
TL;DR: Paid $400 to play *Vampire Survivors* for 45 minutes before the battery dies. The thing smells like burnt plastic and hope. I refunded it and bought a bus pass. AITA for expecting it to just work?
