Yes that's exactly why I got a steam deck too. I wanted something with a similar time-to-play as the switch. It's been excellent so far. I've had some minor issues when waking, but otherwise no problems.
Since getting it in the sale 2 months ago, I haven't turned on my xbox or my switch. It fills a neat gap. But now Zelda is out, I think the steamdeck will be having a rest for a while.
Any recommendations for games that you've enjoyed on the steam deck? I've been enjoying Opus Magnum recently. The controls were initially a bit fiddly (since it's drag and drop with the trackpad) but it's an excellent puzzle game. Refactoring your machines to optimise production rate really scratches an itch in my programmer's brain :)
