Ther s probably a good chance at that, yup. But I’m so still new to the atomic nature of these distros. This is something I’m hoping to tinker with on the PC Bazzite install, and I’m curious how doable it is in the stock SteamOS.

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.
It’s such a simple comment, but this resonated in a way that hit me. I feel like I’m an environmental nihilist, and looking at it as unethical rather than just being a result of hopelessness is a totally different way to reframe this. It’s motivating to keep trying to make a difference!
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.
