I only read of the rocky starts, i got mine with the recent steam sale at 10% off for the 64GB. Just need to get it a bigger SSD and I’ll be all set!

A 1tb microSD card is a pretty good compromise. Its just as fast as ssd storage and significantly easier to install.

Yeah until you can't fill up the SD because the boot drive is full of shaders.

256 GB deck should be the baseline tbh, even with an SD card

From what i know you can put shaders on sd card.

[–] TheWildTangler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Technically you can, but anytime the shaders need to update it'll download the full shader cache back to the boot drive so there's a lot of back and forth
