I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it’s a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don’t even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

    I plan to get a second dock for it, and use it in place of a stream deck for when I stream.

    Then it will be serve these purposes for me

    • TV Media PC (my first dock is connected to my TV)
    • Gaming Handheld
    • Stream Deck
    • A productivity “laptop” in a pinch - I don’t own a real laptop and don’t see a need to get one

    (replacing the tired old barely adequate first gen raspberry pi+touchscreen I was using until a few months ago)

      Be careful if you have an OLED Steam Deck. Static images will burn in pretty quickly if the software you use does not have burn in protection built in.
