I use mine to run VJ software and do light shows at music events.
Since the deck is a powerful computer, and the form factor is quite compact, I find it better than laptops for the task.

Edit: the other comment below mentioning this did not load initially…

Funnily enough, the steam deck has been used during the conflict to control remote weapons. So they could be implicated in this if you go far enough

Wow, I didn’t know that being a Linux/open source contributor meant you don’t have to follow your country’s laws.

It’s developed internationally but devs still reside somewhere and have to abide by the rules at that place. Linux in this case being represented by an US entity means they have to follow the gov’s sanctions. If you want more or less of those, that’s where (the government) you act.

Seems like valve read this post :D

You playing with a controller? I always thought the driving was optimized for the controller as I can’t half press acceleration on a keyboard.
It’s a little bit better after the updates, but it’s still suboptimal I think.

I think it’s related to the monitor I was plugging on HDMI. With a different screen it works better.
But I still have sometimes the displayport screen not turn on after sleep, and the deck crashing when unplug/replugging it :(

??? You’re just baiting now lol

Yeah it has its place. Just not in a Linux community. Is that hard to understand?

Except my layout (bepo) is not in any specific locale and was installed manually. So I don’t think this would work

This is a Linux community. Not sure what you imagine most people here think of windows…

You can’t delete the default one it thinks you will use based on your locale, and it reverts to the default on boot. Also has the worst shortcut to silently change the layout (contol+shift)

Personally on Mac I never had to change my layout again, and if I had to it’s just an icon to click and it stays that way. On windows however, like you said, it’s a nightmare

I absolutely hate that there are 3 ways to change my keyboard layouts. I very often hit control shift and since it’s hidden that the layout was changed I wonder why the last sentence I wrote is gibberish…

I wasn’t clear in my post, but I have a monitor plugged via HDMI too, and that’s the one having trouble either turning on, or being stuck in 480p. I will try with a different monitor or cable.

With only the displayport monitor it works well

It’s false if I remember correctly. Steam prohibits you from selling steam keys outside the store for less than the price on steam. They don’t forbid you from selling cheaper elsewhere

I did not yet upgrade to the latest version, but to migrate to compose I only had to copy the volume paths and the environment variables from Synology.
I can share my compose yaml by the end of the day if you need.

Before I upgrade I will try putting the cache on a SSD instead, seems it can improve performance quite a bit

The latest version of Synology with the container manager allows you to update images from the registry and will restart the container for you.
But I still migrated to docker compose to enable hw transcoding with quicksync
