I used mine to write an openSUSE image for my laptop, and a LibreELEC image for raspi just this weekend.

For anyone wanting to take the deck to the next level and unlock more functionality I can warmly recommend https://bazzite.gg/

I don't know why but bazzite for me was super unstable compared to holo os for my deck

I use a deck to control robots at a theme park.

I saw someone doing this and geeked out so hard. Such a cool use of the Deck.

I use it as a general purpose computer. I set up an encrypted home partition by more or less following this guide: https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption. I have a bag that nicely fits the deck, charging cable, dock, and a 60% keyboard for travel.

Same, I use it as my travel laptop. I like this keyboard + stand.

I have it connected to my TV so I can stream sports.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, "sports", I got ya ;)

I use it for 3D modeling using a BT keyboard and a drawing tablet. Works great with Blender and FreeCAD both.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

How does the drawing tablet work for FreeCAD? And is it one with or without a screen?

Curious on the use case.

Mine spends a lot of time docked to the television so I can torrent/stream things.

What kind of workflow does this involve on your deck?
