I would argue it's easier just in significantly different ways - the Arr stack of applications take more effort to learn and setup initially, but once you have it's absolutely effortless.

This video on steam os which is also immutable went over it: https://youtu.be/gwUf8pwoA5U?si=RlbN0pDnAgEGa-uf

If you can deal with the issues of grey import, it's trivially easy to get one here now. I got a 64gb from Kogan, and since I'm rolling the dice with warranty - did a 1tb SSD upgrade myself.

Definitely happy with my purchase it's an awesome machine

Uhh, Vanguard and Blackrock are ETF providers, those stocks are assets under management

They don't "control" anything about those companies.

It's true but from what I have heard it can be a bit of a ball ache getting the warranty with them, but that's par for the course for grey import so nothing really special about Kogan. They may have a better reputation than most, but with an import you accept it could be a hassle.

That said, I think going with the cheapest and upgrading the SSD is the best choice.

Also wouldn't hold my breath that if/when a local steam deck is released, it will be at all competitively priced.

It sure is! The only two things I mention for people thinking of doing it:

  1. Eject the micro SD card first!
  2. Get a decent small screwdriver and be careful with the screws as they have a bit of thread lock on them and I found it was pretty easy to strip. Nearly had one do that for me which was a bit stressful.

But other than that it's a piece of cake and plenty of guides getting the os on the new drive.
