Getting my steam deck tomorrow. Already had Linux like steam deck on my laptop a while ago (didn’t work well because fuck Nvidia)
But wanted to know what you all think is important to put on a steam deck, that’s not something that’s not what duckduckgo says with the websites it has. (I worded that horribly)
What are some niche things can I could do/install/play on the steam deck that most people wouldn’t really do or think about doing?
I don’t know a lot about Linux as I wish but I know a ok ish amount. Just wanting to find anything really interesting or useful to do with my steam deck
Also anybody know any casual games I can play randomly on public transit and don’t have to sit down and play. Things that I can just easily stop. (Something like balentro kinda way you can just stop whenever)
First off, welcome! You’ll love the steam deck. I don’t have any specific hidden gems but if you’re planning on using this a lot on public transit, look for smaller games to play like Dredge. Anything too intensive will drain your battery a ton faster than a smaller game. Plus it will heat up and fans will be going bbrrrrrrr. May be worth getting a portable power bank if you can’t charge on transit. Also the largest SD card you can get to add to that puppy. Enjoy!
Regarding battery, learn how to utilize power draw slider. Unless necessary, play games on 30-60 FPS. Your battery will thank you for that.
