dpkg-deb --build
Makes it super simple to create one. You just lay out a folder with the contents you want to be installed. Just make sure it has a DEBIAN/control sub folder/file because that control file is where you can specify dependencies, package version, name, etc.

I literally have clothes hanging on a line across the living room because our just out of warranty $1,000+ Samsung "smart dryer" died again a month after I replaced every sensor and the heating element, and I just don't feel like taking it apart again to "maybe" find the problem.
Before this we just had a plain white box from Maytag; easy to work on, cheap replacement parts. It was probably 30 years old when the motor seized and my wife asked for newer, fancier machines. Big mistake.
Steam Big Picture mode (like what the Steam Deck defaults to) makes PC couch gaming super easy. I haven't played anything with or needed a mouse and keyboard in ages.
I had been a PlayStation gamer since PS1 and the PS4 killed it for me. I had bought a lot of digital games during the PS3 era; I was all in on PlayStation. I even bought digital copies of PS1 games I had the discs for to save wear and tear on my discs. I bought the official USB memory card adapter that let you plug your PS1 and PS2 memory cards in and import your save data.
I bought the PS4 and none of it carried forward, not even PS1. I kept it for a bit and played some CoD and Fallout 4 , but eventually sold it and migrated to PC.
I use AdGuard Home on a home server to block all social media for my kids for this very reason.
That'll still end up cheaper than room and board, clothing, medical care, food, lawyers, etc. for the next several decades.
