Not everyone is playin triple A titles, for someone like me who prefer old or/and 2.5D games (which are usually under 10Gib), the 64gb variant would be mostly fine.
Its on the low side but still within reason. Its not just an OS, it’s an OS, a full steam install, a web browser( actually 2 of them because steam also packs an embedded browser), a desktop environment, HD animations, HD wallpapers (several of them) and it adds up quick.
![[Solved] Anyone know if those Samsung Miscro sd cards work well on the Steam Deck?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0faa80c4-5ec2-4113-8216-daf0f6b0d8c9.jpeg){kind=link}
BTW is normal that the free space on the 64 Steam Deck is actually 40-something gb?? I mean 20gb of OS?

Just buy an nvme SSD, the one in the deck is really easy to replace (if you have a good screwdriver, like in the ifixit kit/ other phone repair kits)
I don’t even know why they have a 64GB version.
This is the one I use. I believe you want to look for the “A2” SD card. No issues with speed or reliability yet. I play ges like Elden Ring and RDR2.

Loss leader to increase market share most likely, since Valve loses money on the 64gb model
I suppose that makes sense.

IIRC, it was 20GB of OS at launch, but they shrunk it. Now it’s a little over 10GB.
Shader cache takes a big chunk of the available space
