I like how flexible we, as end users, are in terms of how we use our Deck.

@Kupfer Yes! That flexibility speaks of a great product. It's a good decision on Valve to not lock users out of "ere dere be dragons" settings

The frame time results are a bit worrying. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable with actual use, but it's something I hope Valve can somehow improve on through SteamOS.
