Comment on [Discussion] - What are some niche applications / use cases you've gotten working on your deck?

I sold my laptop last year and it took me 2 months for me to find the PC parts I wanted. I’ve got nothing exciting to report. I used the Steam Deck as my full time PC for 2 months and it worked perfectly for home use and as a virtual workstation for remote lpgon for work. This basically gave me the confidence to love to Linux fulltime and I put OpenSUSE on my PC by the time I got it built.
I still have to use my wife’s windows laptop for some hardware peripheral settings (my GP2040-CE custom controller, Logitech mouse macro button settings, gamesir controller), but overall using the Steam Deck fulltime was a good experience.

Idk about the controllers, maybe there is a utility to configure those out there somewhere, but as far as the Logitech mouse is concerned, there is Piper. Works perfectly on my G502.

I use piper, too! If I remember right it has a specific device support list, though I might be thinking of a different software. But the stuff it’s compatible with it does great!

I’ve got a G502 and couldn’t get Piper to work. Are there particular permissions I need to give it in Flatseal?

I use it on my PC and it’s installed from the distro repositories, but I found instructions for the flatpak version. Apparently some daemon needs to be installed from the repositories.
