I very rarely have to troubleshoot games. Maybe toggle a few quality settings to get it to run to my liking but that's about it.

It really depends on the game. I think an important thing to note is that if you're going to mention the incredible library of a PC platform like the Steam Deck that a lot of these older than five years or so PC games will absolutely require more particular settings and fiddling to get them to run perfectly compared to consoles that guarantee you a game running with comfortable controls with no hassle for anything in their library.

Performance notwithstanding, but even then striking the balance between performance and image quality with graphics options is sometimes more of the experiential decision making than a casual console gamer might want to be concerned with. I think you absolutely get used to and probably don't notice the lower level of these things if you've been on PC for a while, but it is a big part of whether I choose to play switch or PC.

And of course, if your only concern is playing modern releases on PC, then this won't matter as much, but it is a factor.
