        The Deck is plugged into a hub with a monitor, m+kb, and a focusrite Scarlett solo, and Reaper is the DAW I use.

        It’s pretty much just plug and play, I may have had to finnick with the software to get the focusrite going right away but it wasn’t much time at all, if any. Other than that, recording and editing as normal!

    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.

    I temporarily used it as a computer (mostly just firefox tbh) when my main computer was out of order, normally no.

    I used it to watch anime for a month when I was away from my computer haha. It really made me want an oled monitor for my PC, but I realized they are quite expensive. I need to use my deck more in general to be honest.

    Closest I’ve come is accessing the browser on desktop mode to transfer files (pretty much just games or files for games) and soon I hope to add custom boot videos. Otherwise, it’s just a game player/emulator player for me.

    Random question, but does anyone know a way to make it so only custom boot videos play when you select random or have we not gotten that far yet?

    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.

    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.
