Project Q is the upcoming streaming only device that will allow you to play games installed on a PlayStation 5 remotely.
It has not been announced if the handheld will allow streaming of games from the cloud and is rumoured to cost between £250 - £300.

Will you be picking one up later this year?

It’s SteamOS (Linux based) with a compatibility layer for Windows games.

Ah I though it had Windows installed.

Is it possible to install Windows 11 on it and use it has a hybrid gaming PC/gaming handheld/everyday PC if it’s connected to a dock with a monitor and keyboard & mouse?

You don’t have to install Windows. The Linux OS can boot into desktop mode and it functions just like a desktop PC with the Dock. I have it hooked up to a monitor and a TV via separate docks and the monitor dock has a mouse and keyboard. It works great.

I’ve never used Linux before. I’ve only ever used Windows and macOS. Also can the Steam OS play non Steam Windows games. Could my daughter play Roblox, Fall Guys and Sims 4 on it?

From what I understand the driver support is pretty poor under Windows. That may have changed since I last looked but that appeared to be the state at and around launch of the Deck.

Yeah. I haven’t done it, but lots of others have.

You can, but the usability does suffer a bit. I would honestly just keep SteamOS on it as you will get better performance even with the compatibility layer, and you don’t really have to touch the desktop if you don’t want to. The Deck boots directly to steam.

So it’s not really a practical replacement for a PC? Damn.
