I'm not sure why you're being down voted because that was exactly what drew me to the Deck. I use their client, I buy their games, but I also have a work environment setup on the desktop side, and I can still play the games I bought off GOG. I also bought a pass-through power USB3 hub off of Anker's store on Newegg to use as a dock that fits nicely in the case.
Sure, but also, I'd love to get regular people buying these things, which is why I think "gaming console" is important. Let's see if we can get back to good computing and gaming, where you give up a little convenience for a ton of power and possibility.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense within the context of "why do you need an SSH server" on a computer?

This doesn't make any sense to me. Please explain.
I'm very old. So good gaming/computing means devices that are very open by default. "SSH server" can kind of be shorthand for "I can get in the guts of the thing and do whatever I want to it"
Consoles have never been open by default.

Yup, thus the PS5 jailbreak being a cool thing. However, the steam deck is open by default, which is a much bigger deal in the console world and far more exciting IMO.

There is a great interview with one of the designers of the Steam Deck here that covers this:

Seems pedantic, but I think it's important to the discussion in the way we think about the Steam Deck.
