    Maybe some manufacturers might even think about shipping their devices with SteamOS.

    Yes. And the first one to ship something pocket sized with SteamOS and able to run Balatro is going to break the Internet.

      It’s possible to play Steam (and GOG/Epic/whatever) games on phones nowadays via GameNative

      For playing Balatro on the go, I just use a tablet (Dell Latitude that is, so normal Linux desktop)

      The issue with Balatro is that you or at least I need some screen estate do easily differentiate suits, and I don’t play in colorblind mode. Then the game doesn’t really benefit from joysticks, it’s rather a game where you point and click, but don’t move. So all in all just a good fit for a tablet.

          I think it’s possibly the best way to play it, sure my majority of play time is on PC and it’s close but it’s way better than on the Deck, or a phone mind you. Yeah Deck has touch but Tablet is just better
