I was curious how well it would work for switching between projects at work. I manage IT for several different offices and sometimes it is difficult to switch between my many various projects.

    I do not own a Steamdeck, but I will offer my hot take:

    Medical professionals say that you should use your bed only for sleep and sex. Sitting/laying in bed at other times causes psychological associations with other activities that can interrupt its primary purpose.

    I treat my gaming devices with a similar mindset. I have a work PC and a gaming PC, and never the twain shall meet. Not that I am worried about the enticing distraction of video games while trying to work, but rather when I settle down to play games, I want to do so with no distractions or thoughts of work. If I’m gaming on the same device that I spent all day working on, it’d be harder for me to feel disconnected from work, and my gaming experience would be diminished.

    I’m sure this is not a problem for many out there, but that’s my own preference that has served me well for a number of years now.
