I started “The Odin Project” in the deck, because the course prompted me to either mess with WSL2 on windows or switch to linux, so the SteamDeck it is :)

I also set up a secondary setup for my girlfriend with it, even tho my initial intention was to use it handheld most of the times, but it has worked out beautifuly, even with dual monitors!

And I use it as a SmartTV tool, I take it from my desk and dock it on the living room

I just lend my steam deck to my girlfriend and she games around, your aproach is 100% valid

Valve released a console, and you can use it as you wish, if you want help with installing wayland let me know, or you can search for any other tutorial online

Have fun gaming :)

Waydroid in this tutorial is running in a “cage” so it can run under X11 which is an older system used by the current KDE version in the steamdeck.

To install it on bazzite (under Wayland instead of X11), it’s even simpler.

   rpm-ostree install waydroid

and

   sudo dnf install waydroid

So if you are ussing bazzite, follow first option here

For me it usually comes to:

• Android TV to dock the steam deck on my living room and use it as such
• Some very specific games, like PvZ2, or roblox
• Specific apps like “Stremio”, have a better touch screen experience under Waydroid compared to their flatpack version

You are right

But in this case, the “steamos-waydroid-installer” creates a cage ( A wayland compositor running X11), and uses XWayland to render that. That creates a nested Wayland environment, with some overhead, but it works :))

Edit: The good thing is, overhead isnt nearly even a problem, since you’re probably not getting the steamdeck to suffer under android emulation. Still, I believe and hope next big SteamOS update will switch to Wayland, leaving X11 behind

Is your statement true? Probably

But if we set our standards to “enough”, there wouldn’t be any progress

Was the switch enough for couch gamers? Sure. Did valve want to progress further? They did.

Oh no, how will I get spyware into my pc then? What a shame

Wow, thank you, I’m really new to this, I’ll edit the comment, and do that from now on :)

And that’s the right way to approach it, but in a platform were niche communities are so empty, even a meaningless comment counts

But yeah, I try to follow the same approach, I’m interested in many things, and subscribed to a lot of communities, but why should I comment if it doesn’t help or adds anything to the theme of the post

Well, If anyone reads this, keep this as a good habit, even if it feels a bit weird in here, comment when you are of help, and learn from others when you have nothing to say

Edit: I love how the replies to this are doing the exact opposite lol, take care boys, I actually got a good laugh from this

Discord:

• Takes down accounts for mass reporting without checking the issue.
• Takes down accounts for sharing slightly copyrighted content.
• Takes down accounts for using alternative discord clients.
• Doesn’t take down accounts related to coordinated spam attacks to another platform.

Discord being discord I guess, but it’s weird, I’ve seen them take down servers and accounts for all sorts of light issues, but not for this?
