I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

I love my Steam Deck. I do a lot of gaming on my regular PC. But I appreciate my Deck when I'm on the go. It's a great portable gaming device and all the games I'm interested in have worked fine.

What might be beneficial to know in your face, since you have your family and want to be close is the "suspend" feature. In the middle of a PC game, you can simple click the power button to Suspend the game and when you're done, just turn it back on and you'll be right where you left it.
