I have been using the Steamdeck as a workstation for the past month while out of town. - eviltoast

I was out of country for the past month. I have access to two monitors, and I brought a keyboard, wireless mouse, and a small JBL speaker. It has been a pretty good experience. I have edited documents, images, and created PDF’s. I can connect to jobs that require windows with a web browser to Azure Virtual Desktop. I have streamed live events, worked on my home servers, and it is always snappier than a windows machine. With a click I am back in handheld gaming mode playing SNES games, or Elden Ring.

    The fine print: Both monitors work, but one is mirrored with the device. At first I had issues with the resolution on one of them. Now they are both 1080P but with a longer than normal space between them when mousing from one to the other. You cannot see that on the screen, it seems normal, but moving the mouse from one monitor to the other is like a small dead space.

        I added both Libre Office and Onlyoffice. I have found editing PDF’s a better experience in Libre Office. I had to fill out some custom forms for insurance purposes and Libre Office was better for that. If I had to I could launch Office 365 or use an Azure desktop, but I have not needed to.
