So are any of y'all using the Steam Deck as a regular computer? For programming and stuff

@lpil cc @mauve 😁

@j3rn @lpil Yup! All day every day. Usually with a head mounted display (I use the Rokid Max) or docked. I use it handhend to do web browsing and code reviews.

Been working on making my text to speech scripts work better for coding cause the on screen keyboard ist great for it.

love the keybinding customization. Got my setup with most functions at a my fingertips

@mauve @j3rn @lpil Ooh, the rokid max look super interesting. Have you written about how well they work with programming?

I was considering buying a Pico VR for this, but the rokid max seems way better for that.

@clementd @j3rn @lpil Hmm, net yet but I really should. I find the best part has been the ability to lay on ny back while coding and generally get more comfortable. Sometimes the text needs to be zoomed a little and the glasses need to be adjusted a little to be able to see the edges of the scrern properly. The diopters are very convenient as a glasses haver and friend of glasses havers :P

@mauve @j3rn @lpil Indeed. Do you use the screen covers, or are the displays still readable while seeing outside?

(I have a few questions, lmk if I'm bothering you)

@clementd Honestly it'd be hard to get me to shut up once I've started 🤣

If I look at very bright stuff it can be hard to see the text since I have everything in dark mode, but even then I don't really use the covers. I just sit down and look at the grass or lay on my back and look at a tree. Sometimes I walk around with my partner and do code reviews while they help keep me from bumping into stuff or getting hit by a car 😁 It's a great way to get weird looks tho.
