> current iteration is pretty rough in terms of software usability and performance

I am interested in the Steam Deck, could you give a specific example or two? I've heard mostly positive things so I would be interested in some specific pain points.

Sure, I was referring to the UI of the OS itself. I had the device about 3-4 months ago so perhaps it has been improved, but it was pretty janky in my experience at the time. It would often outright freeze on me for 10-20 seconds at a time.

Press a button, wait several seconds for something simple to happen on screen.

Felt like it was all held together with duct tape.

I got one ~2 months ago and the experience is extremely different. I've not experienced a single freeze yet.

I watched a review and the first thing they mentioned was how much they enjoyed the UI compared to other devices.
