Any reason I shouldn't get a #SteamDeck to replace my lil Intel NUC setup? Mostly for some dev workflows and having it docked into my large screen + my BT keyboard and trackpad.
Also been thinking it'd be handy to have for basic #VR with #Monado and some sort of cheap headset like an #NReal Light
@mauve I have a Deck. Dunno what all this about sound and YouTube not working is. I watch movies from my media server in browser just fine. Haven't tried YouTube, but I'd be surprised if it didn't work. IDK how much distro support there is, but I seem to recall reading about some folks getting Arch loaded on theirs.
@mauve just be aware that the "/usr" directory is read-only (as it arguably should be). This means you must install apps and keep user data in the home directory. You can achieve this with Flatpak (inherently) and Podman (to create a Linux container to install your software to). You can use Distrobox with rootless Podman to easily create containers with access to the host's X server, audio servers, network ports, etc
You can read about that here: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/compatibility.md#install-podman-in-a-static-manner
Pretend it's Silverblue
