@ragman Yeah! They're such a great device. I tried doing programming on it for like a year before switching to my GPD device. I just keep it in the living room for gaming now 😸 Are you excited about the Steam Frame?

@cwebber High IQ, low wisdom.

@ragman What sorts of stuff do you use it for? I've considered getting something like that for my partners to mess with.

@ragman Hmm honestly I'd be careful with stock linux on the deck since they do a bunch of shenanigans to make the controller inputs work correctly on boot.

I can poke you once I have a blog post out with my setup if you'd like :)

@arichtman GNOME for sure. Though I'm guessing there's a KDE theme somewhere for it already.

@ragman TBH I'm not sure what folks new to the scene are using them for beyond a creative outlet for making a lil gadget that looks cool. 😅 I'm mostly in it for portable computing for programming and information processing. I think a lot of folks use them for playing old games via emulators?

@ragman Currently coding on a premade one from China. https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin42025 Originally it was made as an alternative to the Steam Deck for gaming but I use it for my programming job.

I'm also in the process of finishing up the software side on my fully wearable setup based on a single board computer and a head mounted display + one handed keyboard. https://www.khadas.com/edge2

My cat is being very patient with me coding on my cyberdeck instead of petting her while she's on my lap.

@tantramar tiktok is actually the best for this since you can go through your "activity history" to see all the videos you wanted to track one down.

The next Rust is gonna be C

Linux 😭 The distro I was using on my sbc fell apart because of some sort of infighting and the replacement project's package repos have some sort of conflict with my vulkan setup. Might need to just nuke my setup and go from scratch.

Did you know they're still releasing marvel movies?

Gonna LARP as a Druid since it's the opposite of my out of game terminal infatuation with digital information systems. 🤪

Love being able to code up a script for automating tedious actions on websites by inspecting what they do at the network level. 🤗
