My Anbernic RG353V won’t launch games, can it be a SD card issue?
Video is blurry but it looks like a fake sd card. Test it in a computer with a program like this: https://github.com/dkrahmer/MediaTester/

which one should i buy? I will use it exclusively on the deck. If the difference is not worth 20 euros i would rather get the cheaper one.
If you do buy flash storage products on Amazon, run it through F3, Media Tester, or similar to check that the card is not lying about its capacity.

Can't flash Linux mint
It looks like you may have bought a fake USB stick. Download this program and test it to see if it is truly a 16GB USB stick: https://github.com/dkrahmer/MediaTester/releases

2TB microSD card is on the way early next year
I've used f3 (fight flash fraud) on every SD card I've bought for myself or someone else. Never had a failure, but I've pretty much only bought cards direct from mixza on aliexpress.
I'd certainly recommend testing any flash device you get, especially cheap ones. It might take eight hours to write and verify, but it's well worth it. (if you can abide disputes/returns)

Samsung PRO Plus 512 GB - Bad Card or Fake Card?
It is generally a good idea to test Flashmedia if the reported size is correct even if it looks real. On *Nix systems i can reccomend https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ It usually takes <20 min for 1TB sd cards.

Did I get a faked SSD? Shows as 2Tb but WD SN lookup shows 1Tb.
Just use this or something similar the determine the actual size, which you should do when you buy flash storage of any kind. Just keep in mind that the usable size will be less than the actual size due to over provisioning.

app that tests (micro)sd cards?
F3 (“Fight Flash Fraud”) inherently involves a thorough integrity check and so, ignoring fraud, has as confirmed faults for me.

Can I use a steam deck if I’m a tech dummy?
If I remember correctly, the SteamOS formatting process integrates https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 so you'll probably just get an error upon formatting saying the flash is bad/counterfeit.

SSD as Long Term Storage Testing
To workaround the various tricks a drive can play, one may wish to use a capacity tester in addition to hardware stats.

One could setup a destructive wear-test, but results may not be generalized between lots with identical model number. This is because some manufactures sell performant products for early reviews/shills, and eventually start cost-optimizing the identical product sku with degraded performance.
As annoying as the bait-and-switch trend became, for off-brand consumer hardware YMMV.
Good luck =)
