Is anyone using the steam deck as their day to day computer? (lemmy.ml)

I just plugged the steam deck in to a monitor and while I was transferring some roms and started to wonder if it would be feasible to use as a day to day computer while docked.

I ordered this Anker USB-C dock as soon as I got my Deck: https://a.co/d/alhyc1U

I had the old plastic stand that came with the Wii U Gamepad, it fits the Steam Deck pretty perfectly. If you go this route, and want to stand your Steam Deck up, make sure to get a short 6-inch to 1-foot USB-C extension cable. The cord on the dock is a bit too short to reach the top of the Steam Deck. Aside from that, this dock is perfect. It's one of few I've found with two HDMI ports.

I also ordered the official Steam Deck Dock when it was released. I tried to use it at work, but my two monitors are HDMI, and the official dock has one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. I tried using an HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter. It worked fine in Windows, but I could never get it to work properly in SteamOS. So now I use the Anker dock at work, and the official one at home, where I only have one monitor, or sometimes I'll use it to plug in to the living room television.

I love how hackable and repairable the steam deck is.
