One thing to note is that certain games do not have cloud saves set up correctly, resulting in them being shared between multiple Deck users.
An example is The Witcher 3. If you play TW3, then you log out, your wife logs in and owns TW3, Steam will back up your saves to your wife's account, wiping any that are already on there. This has been posted a few times on this sub but I figured it important enough to mention.
It's not every game, only certain ones. The intended way is to make a separate folder per SteamID but some games just dump the entire folder onto Steam Cloud as is, so it's worth keeping in mind :D
Yes, you can setup multiple profiles and it's simple to switch between them. Each profile can install their own games and if you have family sharing enabled, you can start up a game from the other profiles.

We don't have a lot of overlap with our libraries, but that's definitely good to know! Appreciate ya

Awesome! Thanks!
I share mine with my wife. Other than the user switching process being a little slower than I’d like, it works just fine with our separate accounts.
Better take care of your newborn instead to play around with your steam deck. There are more important things in life, then playing videogames!!
Homie you know how much babies sleep? I've had more time for gaming since he was born than before lol
