- Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape' 1 week ago:
Its a solid stand-in for a mid-tier laptop! Most everyday laptop stuffs like web browsing and code editing it drives like a charm!
Don’t expect too much, though! From my experience video editing is a bit too heavy for the lil guy - and some softwares can be kinda tough to run due to the sandboxed nature of steamOS (eg visual studio code, librewolf).
I think switching to another OS like Cashy or (if it doesn’t get axed?) Bazzite would probly be the way to go if you intend to use it for more than simple apps & web browsing!

Sick!
I dug into this a bit and couldn’t find and easily locatable guides to setting this up on Deck (at least, not without disabling the read-only protections of the system), and I ended up finding Boxes, made by Gnome! It didn’t seem to want to download Debian on its own, but I just downloaded it from Debian.org and it was installed in like 10 minutes! Couldn’t believe how easy it was - and all with a single flatpak app! 😃

Thanks! Definitely true about the reinstall! I guess in my case I worry it’ll cause a hard crash right when I’m too kaput from a long day to go troubleshoot, and just wanna drop into a relaxing game before bed, ya know? Like at that point I’m just gonna sleep early and fix it another day lol. It’s nice to have an ultra-reliable gaming rig around, and without tampering with CSS the steam Deck is certainly that!
The artwork plugin is another one I hadn’t used, since I figured I’d have to find & sideload images on my own – I didn’t realize it has crowd-sourced submissions to pick from!! Makes it infinitely worth installing!

I’ve been resisting installing decky since my last (LCD) Steam Deck ended up a bit janky from too many mods 😅 but this post inspired me to make the jump and install the CSS loader for the first time!
I leaned super hard into the OLED’s blacks and picked red as an accent, since saturated red really ‘pops’ on an OLED screen. I think it turned out pretty nice!!

Love this!

Ah shit this is SO cool! Do you do like sound design or something with this? Or is it just fun to goof with and see what you can make?
I found a super basic 8-bit version of this sort of thing that works in the browser and had lots of fun just finding weird sounds to make!

Haha! Good eye! I bought those back in 2021, during my first time here to visit my gal’s family. They were so cute and happy we couldn’t resist!!

Really! I’m surprised to hear it - I have some 1440p@60fps gameplay captured off my brother’s NVIDIA replay and the deck struggles to keep steady enough to do stuff like pan & crop. Did you do some proxy schenanigains to get steady editing performance? 🙂

Shiit that’s incredible! Gahh I miss my VR, that’s one one thing I had to leave behind (my parents were kind enough to ship later for us).
I had to ask my brother to stream me his gameplay of some VR to fill the void 😂😭 I dunno if it helped or hurt! Gonna have to hit up a VR arcade or something!

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!

Ah gotcha, didn’t realize virt manager was the name of the VM tool. I’ll have to give it a shot sometime, seems cool!

First time I’d heard of SomaFM - what a cool service!

Nice!
I’ve found Distrobox to be a great way to access stuff I’m more familiar with from my Debian distros. Builds little containers that make use of some existing binaries from the steamOS environment. I even found some super curated ‘boxes’, specifically for Davinci Resolve, which is promising! (That box didn’t work in my case, but it’s cool that sort of thing is in development! 🙂)

Oh wow, first I’ve hears of the Odin project! Very cool!
Also love the idea of using it as a SmartTV!

Wow, for real?? Still within steamOS?? That’s something I haven’t yet approached since I figured virtualization wouldn’t perform well enough - but adobe products via virtualization is impressive!!
How did you do it, if you don’t mind me asking? Like did you follow a guide or is there a specific app you used? 🙂
