Can you say why you do that? It's it because you can play with better quality settings because you offload the work to your pc?
Not OP, but that's one part of it. You can turn down graphics, and games will still look fine on the small screen, but some games just need some extra power.
I haven't played RDR2 but something like Returnal runs okayish on the Deck, but runs great on my PC. If I want good framerates on the Deck, I need to turn everything down, and it's acceptable on the go, but at home I could run it at 60 fps easy with better graphics if I stream it.
Yeah i like it that i can play the game on the highest quality and it makes the steam deck less hot and the battery last waaaaay longer :)
I also have it connected to my tv a lot so i can play pc games in 4k on the couch.
I also tend to switch between the steam deck and pc multiple times in a day, so having everything on one system is really nice.
Games like vampire survivor, emulators, bind of isaac, olders games etc, i play on the steam deck directly. But having immediate access to my xbox games pass library is also really nice ^^
