I got a retroid pocket ages ago. Thing’s been in a drawer since day 1. Feels incredibly clunky, both hardware and software. It just feels like a cheap toy.
I have an analog pocket now that does everything I wanted the retroid for much better, and even though it’s not quite the same form factor, the steam deck is an emulation beast too.
Absolutely. I’m a bit of a ways outside the city and waiting for the day the raids hit in full force here for anyone who doesn’t align with fascists.
I’ll toss in a vouch for bazzite too. I tried it out and it’s not at all for me, but that’s because I wanted to tinker with shit and bazzite’s a very “locked-down” immutable distro. if you want something that just works out of the box and don’t plan on doing a lot of tweaking, it’ll get the job done. I ended up switching to cachyOS which suits my needs much better, but I don’t think I’d recommend it to someone brand new to linux as a whole.
I’ve been using it for a few months now. Works just fine, doesn’t do anything fancy but it doesn’t need to. Filter rule creation is pretty limited, and the desktop client doesn’t play well with my VPN for some reason, but otherwise it works fine.
It’s alright but I’ve already stopped using it. I could never get it to the exact angle I want to use it, plus the mount on the deck itself needs to come off in order to use a dock.
It’s sturdy and secure, and it does exactly what it’s meant to, but I found I was having more arm and wrist strain while using it because of the weird mount. The lowest angle I could get it is still too high up and too far away to be comfortable. I wouldn’t really recommend it.

I haven’t majorly fucked up any recent systems (almost botched the steam deck once or twice but nothing that required a reinstall), but god 10 years ago I probably reset my arch dual boot like five times lmao
