There’s also a script for Android TV on the deck that’s pretty good, I didn’t test it yet but I’ll sure as hell be using that for my tv stuff

it was so fucking peak on my Samsung man what a throwback

I’ll try it out, thanks!

The only thing I was put off by the linux way was how much setup would need to be done for making the screen vertical. Like if I had to go to desktop mode to rotate the screen every time i wanted to read manga. Whereas here i downloaded two apps, one for screen rotation control (didn’t really experiment with adding gyro for rotation control, dunno if it’s even possible) and one for manga.

Would increasing the text size help with reading? Sometimes I can’t catch details either, but with how high quality the scans and software got you can just zoom in and the 7 inch screen will help with that.

Damn, thanks for the detailed comparison! I’ll have to check it out now

what’s the difference between the two? looks to me they’re very similar.

to be honest i didn’t limit the TDP until recently when reading so I’ll do some testing, so I’ll try it out

match made in heaven honestly, big hand dream

it was indeed on 3 watts except for Android bootup which took a bit more juice.

Mihon thru Waydroid. way less hassle than anything else and android is great for touchscreen

i am obligated to say that the publishers screwed over the devs for that game, so if possible you’re better off getting a cd key than supporting those thieves

but convenience is convenience

you get to bind a key to anyting basically

So I’ve been using my steam deck as a laptop replacement as I’m on uni and I don’t really need that much processing power on me.

If you have a good dock, some accessories and a lot of patience, it can fit the bill.

I’ve switched my system over to Bazzite, which is amazing because it’s more up to date, and makes using the deck as a desktop very enjoyable, but it is running on the latest beta so any bugs that are on steamos 3.5 will persist here. However unfortunately it doesn’t support HDR at the moment.

Even without bazzite you can easily use it as a desktop, but you do have to be aware that it isn’t as strong as some laptops nowadays. (of course you could always remote connect to a desktop and do stuff there but yknow).
