I was in a relatively new hotel. They likely aren't going to throw out existing TV's but when it's replaced, no more steam deck connection.

It's about oil and profits. They want us to need a car to go anywhere. More cars, more oil, more profits, RIGHT?
Marriott hotels have custom firmware on their TVs to prevent you from changing inputs.
Seems like it's probably a console/mini PC. I would assume it will come with Steam OS. We'll see!
A brown person actually got locked up in Guantanamo Bay for owning a Casio watch.
My desktop PC kicked the bucket after 10 years a few months back and I ended up using my Steam Deck as my primary computer for about a month. In that time I learned that Linux isn't so bad.
If forced to either pay a subscription for Windows or switch to Linux the choice seems simple for me at this point.
Pleasantly surprised to see this is the top comment.
It's a handheld that can play basically any game through the previous generation and even some current AAA titles. If you have a steam library already, most of your games are suddenly playable on the go. The hardware is open with spare parts easily obtainable so that you can repair it yourself if you drop it. Valve is very engaged with maintaining and updating the software to be an enjoyable experience whether you prefer console or PC. Because it is subsidized by software sales the hardware costs less and drove down prices in the industry for competing products. When my 10-year-old motherboard gave out in my desktop, I was able to use the Steam Deck as my primary PC for a month while I took my time putting together a new computer. Also, you are very correct that it has had a meaningful impact on Linux gaming.
In my opinion, there's a lot to like.
