Haha, I tried to play helldivers on the couch with a controller and I feel like a retard. I used to be okay with a controller but now that I fly drones in sim racing for screenshots my brain cant decide which way it wants the vert stick mapped.
Streaming from your pc is the way to go. I tested several titles last night and it felt great. I might beat bg3 now even though the ui is hard to figure out.

I tried streaming from the PC but it was kinda wonky. But might have been our shitty Wifi acting up. Also not liking it firing the PC up to run a game.
Geforce Now is really nice but it is kinda expensive.
Playing Hollow Knight right now on the Deck and it'sa great game for it. Just that I suck, a lot.

I have it so it disables my two monitors connected to the PC, so thankfully it only uses the PC resources and doesn't keep the screens on.
It's just a nice alternative when I don't want to sit at a PC all night... Which I do at work all day.
As for the bg3 interface. I beat it on PS5, so if the controller UI is the same you get used to it pretty quick. It's a little harder to do actions but after awhile it becomes muscle memory.

They do not have a program for that. Just gotta sell your LCD on your own then buy a OLED if you wanna upgrade.

This one comes with a magnetic clip, just attaches to the back. And the cable was made specifically for the deck, fits perfectly.

The Steam Deck is really repairable though, so if it's just the battery it's an easy switch like

mentioned above.
I think you can buy and replace pretty much every component and nothing is soldered.
Bu that battery pack seems pretty nice if you want some longer sessions!

gamestop has high trade values on old ass consoles right now so i scoured my basements for shit i stored "someday i'll play" (I NEVER WILL) and it really sucks how shitty hardware is.
wii: dead. known problem with internal memory or some shit, they die after a few years. gamestop took it in, lol
wii u: didn't even plug in, but apparently most wii u's will die after a few years due to some eMMC flaw. traded in
xbox 360: had two i got free, one was working fine 2 years ago when i played forza horizon 1. now dead, RROD. other boots but overheats and freezes after 2 mins. gamestop did not take these in (they test them), got $5 for two controllers and gave to retro store the systems
3ds xl, vita: similar battery issues as above
ps3: console is fine, but controller has insane stick drift. has been sitting in a box for 5 years untouched. no store around me sells ps3 controllers, buying on on ebay is just full of "does not work selling for parts"
made me realize my steam deck will probably not last another 5-6 years, sucks. oh well, at least pc gaming is built with "this game will run on anything in 10 years" unlike consoles.

Makes me think of all the heinous shit and abuse we levied on our original NES and that thing would still power up.
