I miss my GBA, I loved the form factor of that little guy. Fit perfectly in a pocket, super comfortable to hold for ages. I had the see through plastic version which was super cool.
Sony has officially supported Linux distros for both PS2 and 3.
However, that’s not what the games ran on, so it still fits with your definition. It’s just interesting to think about given the current state of things.
Steamdeck because it’s so versatile and powerful. I also like that all the linux gaming improvements flow through to my linux desktop pc as well.
Gameboy advanced because it was so portable.
Agreed, both are great consoles.

Is steamdeck really a console or just a Linux PC with extra controls.
I’d argue that being console also needs a proprietary OS and games that don’t work anywhere else.
A defining aspect of the console experience is the “it just werks” pick up and play nature of them which I think the steamdeck fits well enough into.

I think it can be both a console and a pc. However you choose to use it.
