Which Steam Deck should I play?

1st World Problem: Which Steam Deck should I play?
Also: Is it odd that the Steam Deck's contour perfectly matches the Tesla's center console and sits perfectly on it?

More 1st world problems: Now if only it would work with Xbox controllers over Bluetooth. And if it would allow Steam to run on the rear screen (and while driving). And allow streaming audio to Bluetooth headphones. And allow me to install non-Steam games like on my real Deck.

It’s not windows. It will never run non steam games.

Bluetooth controllers work for those with the necessary equipment installed.

Umm. I've been running non-Steam games on my Steam Deck for a while now. Proton is an amazing gift to the gaming community.

The car just won't pair with XBox controllers, but it does work with my PS5 Dualsense controllers.

Steam on your car is not ever going to play non steam games. Steam deck is a computer dedicated to gaming. Your car isn’t. It’s not windows based.

I don't ever expect non-Steam games to run. But your reasoning that it will never happen because "it's not windows based" is fully inaccurate because the Steam Deck is also Linux-based and runs Windows games fine. In fact, for nearly everyone, it pretty much only runs Windows games -- Steam or Non-Steam...
