  • I never really had issues with m&k so they probably did! What were the issues? The main game I played was New World and GW2, and that worked pretty awesome. I was even able to add some gamescope arguments to the startup to get FSR working for New World and have the performance be surprisingly good. I also had little issues with Pillars of Eternity once it was set up to play via M&K.



  • I have Bazzite running on a desktop PC, and I love it. It’s pretty solid so I can only assume it’d be just as good on the Steam Deck.

    However, I have been using the Steam Deck for work purposes for a while. I mostly have HTML5 web apps I access through Firefox, but there’s a few office type apps I’ve installed via Flatpak that work great too. Remote desktop apps as well. I have a USB-C dock, so I just plug the deck in and have dual monitor, mouse, keyboard, and wired Ethernet for working in Desktop mode.

    The only sticky thing I’ve had is I had to install my VPN software via AUR and had to setup an install script to clean up/reinstall it every time the deck updates. A minor inconvenience and I just forgo updates if they pop up at a bad time until I know I won’t need the VPN right away.

    My next trial for the Deck as a work device is to get a lapdock and see how it works with that, too.
