So are any of y'all using the Steam Deck as a regular computer? For programming and stuff
@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
@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
@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.
@mauve I assume you use the floating screen mode and not the spatial mode?
I'm thinking about how to use it in a train. I already have a small keeb, I'm wondering about whether using my existing laptop or something smaller instead.
@clementd Defs something smaller would be easiest imo. Even a samsung phone with DeX can be convenient
@mauve@mauve.moe Last question and then I'll be quiet: can you do long sessions with it or does it tire your eyes? Do you see it as a complement to a regular monitor or as a full on replacement?
