But, if you want an answer about the entire device and whether it's worth it, I would say yes, it is worth the upgrade. Putting all of the above into a single package is extremely enticing, and for my money, the OLED HDR screen with the extra battery life is what won me over in the end.

The Steam Deck doesn't have an HDMI port, so you can't use it with your TV right out of the box. It does have a USB-C port though, which means you can connect it to your TV with the help of either a USB-C to HDMI adapter or a USB-C dock that includes an HDMI port.

Connected to a dock, you can even use the Deck as a full HTPC. The Nintendo Switch Lite cannot do any of that, so by technicality, the Steam Deck wins over the Switch simply because all its models/configurations can connect to your TV. But it also wins because it supports more than one video output and resolution.

For you, the only way to get it to work is if you install Windows on your Steam Deck. You can dual-boot Windows and SteamOS so you just use Windows for FC24 and games that use anti-cheat, and SteamOS for all your other games.
