Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? - eviltoast

I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it’s a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don’t even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

    With a Dock and my Steam Controller it’s a fantastic media PC.

    Sadly it sucked last time I tried it to run Jellyfin Media Player :(

      Weird, it works flawlessly for me. But I’ve only tried it in desktop mode. I find gamescope mode isn’t great for non games, even Firefox scales wierdly in gamescope mode.
