MODERATORS
I have both and use both of them more than I used the PS3, PS2, and Dreamcast.
Emulation can be ok but often you spend as much time fiddling as playing. Switch just works.
Steam Deck mostly just works for most Steam games, and can do a lot more if you want to tinker. It's a computer and supports normal computer things like keyboard and mouse. Basically no restrictions.
Have you tried using the emudeck software? It seems that it kind of self configures.
