I just use tech for as long as it works. I only replace it when something fails and there’s no way to fix it.
I think happiness is not about getting more and more, it’s about appreciating what you already have. Getting more and more didn’t make me happy, doing stuff with it did. And if someone else made art with less than half of my current resources, it is my technique that should be improved, not my infrastructure.
My main PC is an i3 from 14 years ago. It has an SSD and 6 gb of ram so it is serviceable.
More people need to be frugal just as you. Huge respect for you man.

I found happiness in appreciating everything, doing stuff and being with the people that I love.
Yeah the steam deck will be faster than that. 4K video editing? Not gonna be great but it might be tolerable. 1080p? Heck yeah.
Based on this added info I think it would be a major improvement. So I’d say go for it!
Fucking hell, you and I have vastly different definitions of “serviceable”
I mean, I still play Diablo 2 and AoE2. I make music on my main PC too.
D2 & AoE2 - one does not need more to be entertained for months.
Or a lifetime
