I was wondering how does it compare in terms of complications and performance?

I considered it, but Steam Deck just runs so smoothly, like idk what I’d gain by loading it other than an added headache.

But yes also curious to know if someone’s tried it

I have, for several months. I use desktop mode enough that I thought it would be more comfortable since Cachy is my daily driver. It honestly feels the same in terms of performance, though I have not run any benchmarks.

You could change a couple more things like encrypt your drive just to have one example.

Not technically a SD but I used it on my Ayaneo 2S. It was fast but felt a bit unstable - updates would often break things so I'd have to roll back
