Done that bit got a bit of a problem cant seem to get it to boot, i have a type c usb pen but can't format it to GPT using rufus and now have a none booting deck 
oh well i'll persevere, i can here the beep and thats all it does, if I plug it into power it does come up with a warning saying cant find boot disk

what nvme did you go for ?
Look at what's New and Trending, no 1 on Steams front page.......I wonder if its works on SteamDeck !?!?
hope it's VR compatible as well!

Just to follow up on this.... its disappointing to say the least. Pairing an xbox series x controller to the Deck via Bluetooth results in input lag, and streaming performance via the Deck from my gaming PC isn't great. Annoyingly, its a far better experience using my Apple TV 4K - barely any noticeable input lag with the same controller.
Mine turned up today, had a firmware update, doesn't display on my tv. Need to go and try it on a different one, but a quick search looks like there is issues with LG screens. Mine is the LG48CX, tried different cables/inputs, nothing!
EDIT: Ah well, looks like it's going back. Used the cheapy Sabrent dock I bought a few month ago and works fine with the Steam Deck. Tried the Dock on a Panasonic TV and it's a screen full of artifacts/lines/flickering all over the screen, looking like a pc with a borked gfx card! Something else to RMA, great

Finally got it to boot and install all good, now to reinstall origin etc as they must have been on ssd, all the games are still on the sdcard, I "almost" forgot to remove the sd when opening the case.....
Origin, Epic, uPlay, can all be done on Lutris.
Gamepass, yes, as far as I know requires Windows, unless you're happy using xCloud.

Yes, and I understand for the 64GB. But I have the 256GB and a 512GB SD Card. That's more than enough for a handful of AAA games and tons of Indies. How many games do you all jump between?!To put a bigger ssd in

I’ve only had mine a week or so and have already used 50% of my 1tb sd
Yes, you should put it on the new one. Mine wouldnt slide onto the new one so I unstuck it instead.
Just had my support ticket replied to about the clicky thumbstick, got to be sent back

Looked it up. That's great news! I don't mind using the cloud for game pass. Linux looks very capable on the Deck. I'm going to pick up my Deck now. Excited

The 512gb Micro SD I bought from Amazon during the recent sale has been stuck at the distribution centre for a week now. Was due for delivery tomorrow so going to push for a replacement then. With any luck I'll end up with two for the price of one... eventually .

She's mine! Crikey didn't realise how big it is!
Maybe they all want to play Ark with all it's DLCs

Initial thoughts, feels fantastic in the hand very comfortable and light. Screen is lovely considering the resolution. Can't believe I have all this power in my hands. It's gooooooooood.
