Random advice from personal experience: if you buy a steam deck for a non-techy, don't get them to use windows, the user experience is awful. Just use the default OS, and only install games that a labelled as working well through Proton. Anything else will be a fairly painful experience.

I disagree, I have Windows on my steam deck and it works just fine. It is the primary way I use mine (Windows 10 though, not 11) because of the issues I have mentioned here.
The only real issue I have is it being a small screen. But I just have any games I need on my desktop and its easy enough to tap an icon.

Interesting you had more success then me. I just got annoyed with the tiny screen, and lots of minor things that seemed to not work smoothly (although now I can't remember exactly what they were I'll admit).
