    When I am travelling I use the deck and dock to order product (Libra office), Email, checking credentials of staff and watch video.

    Only issue I have is the stupid jumping of frames when watching video in firefox due to not knowing how to turn of the stupid “smoothing” crap.

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

    Used mine as my main PC for half a year, doing everything from gaming (duh) to embedded development. Used RWFUS to install packages not available on flathub, but have recently started experimenting with the NIX package manager (I’m still running write-protected SteamOS).

    My sister uses hers as a test and development machine for linux and Android applications.

    Thought about using my SD in my model aircraft hobby, but never got around to that. Maybe I’ll use it when playing around with my car with the OBD2 adapter, since i can easily connect to it from my current main rig.

    I use mine to run VJ software and do light shows at music events.
    Since the deck is a powerful computer, and the form factor is quite compact, I find it better than laptops for the task.

      Can you elaborate in which use case bazzite is better on deck than stock steamOS? Whats the difference in terms of battery life? What are the tradeoffs?

        Personally don’t have a deck… yet. I run Bazzite as my OS on my PC though. However, I read and see a lot of people running Bazzite on decks on forums and discord. This is also where i’d recommend going for answers such as you asked for. If I had to guess there isn’t much difference when it comes to battery life - they’re both running the same kernel. The reason you would want to switch, as shown on their website is to unlock the ability to run flatpak on your deck.

          I kinda wished you were able to back up your claims. The Steam deck can install flatpacks through discover just fine.

          Bazzite doesn’t support the 64GB version of the deck. It’s the version I own.

          I run a rebased kionite to bazzite on my desktop pc, so its not like I hate Bazzite, I love it. All in all not a very sensible recommendation, in my opinion the risk of bricking far outweigh the aesthetic appeal to run Wayland apps.

            Fair enough, I’ve only assumed Steam deck was “locked” to steam, but turns out its not. My bad for not having done proper research here.

    My friend screenshares shows with me and we watch and talk to help me fall asleep at night ❤️ It works better on the deck than my phone

      Yeah, the Steam Deck is kind of the middle ground between a too big laptop and too small phone screen.
