Don’t use the same account for 2 different people. Create another and use Steam Family sharing to fix your issue.
although you still won’t “own” your games, but that’s the life of a PC gamer. Best you can do is buy from GOG or find/run shady cracked versions.
Secure boot has always caused me headaches in the past.
If you want the extra security, go for it. If you don’t care, turn it off.
I use my steam deck docked primarily to stream from my main PC to my living room. I haven’t noticed any battery degradation when I do use it in handheld. I got it March 2022.
Also if you happen to be using Emby as a media server, the emby theater app image supports controller :)
Any of the Samsung Tab S tablets should work. Does double check it actually supports the s pen.

You’ll need some kind of internet to download the ISOs for whatever version of Linux you chose though.
Retrodeck in your case then if you just want a simple setup.
Only works if you haven’t updated it since the February 2021 update. You also would lose the actual built in Chromecast feature.
Cool but I don’t really see why you would do it on this device when you can just flash android to a raspberry pi or something and have basically the same thing at that point.
I use mine docked fairly frequently. No major issues that I’ve had. Just note that if you change the games resolution to higher than the steam decks native screen, you’ll sacrifice framerate for it.
It’s probaly not needed at this point. You can get flash drives crazy cheap.
