Personally haven't as I just don't think I'd use it.

Handheld Linux console is a cool idea. Though I'd focus on GOG games on it.

I hope it's sells successfully though.

But why should I? I have a desktop PC and all my daily trips are either on foot or involve riding a bike. No need for handheld consoles.

Technicalities aside, no. I would like a Deck, it's probably the first gaming console I'm interested in since the Game Boy Advance, but it's not an option in many ways.
It is not available in my region, so I don't even have the option. But even if I did, this is a huge expense for my standards; I don't tend to use the latest and greatest hardware, I use my devices until they fall apart (sometimes even longer :P ) and getting a new phone or laptop requires careful consideration. I wouldn't buy in to a new device before it is even out, even if I happened to have the money now. And, well, I don't have the money now. xD Certainly doesn't help that exchange rates have skyrocketed recently.
I'll probably try to replace my very old computer and phone before I even start thinking about buying a much more superfluous device like a gaming handheld.
So pre order then
Unfortunately this entire hobby is going beyond a lot of peoples means. The prices are just nuts!

Back in the days of the Moore Law, we just had to wait for a few years and the cutting edge got cheap. These days that is no longer true, but the big companies still want everything to go obsolete after a couple of years...
