VMMR!

You assume correct. It wouldn’t be a bad tool for sequencing disco lights and pyrotechnics either, I’d imagine :D

i might be wrong, but setting up the steam client as an option in whatever display manager (‘login screen’) one uses would likely work. i’ve done that with renoise the music tracker.

Once it’s really qood I will. Still some way to go, should get back to it.

Noita 👍

Same! I’ve been slowly building a pretty solid custom controller setup for it too. Oh, and found a tiny M-Audio USB keyboard from a flea market, also great with the Deck.

I have a needlessly complicated but high quality signal path (USB-C to A dongle -> some extension cable -> Edirol UA-1D -> looong Toslink optical cable -> active speakers) to play music off Spotify and MPD on the Deck to entertain the family and guests.

Cheers man!

Thanks for introducing me to ProtonDB 😁 Back to gaming after a wee hiatus since selling the C64 🤣

It might fit on top of the screen if one doesn’t have a body case fitted to the Deck like I do (there’s a kickstand bulging the backside of the case). But I carry the keyboard under the elastic band under the official case, giving the official case the added super power of being able to stand upright :D

the kb fits the elastic in the back when carrying, not inside like this tdough.

I have a noname chinese case on the deck, and it’s got a but of a lump in the back which clears the intake vent. that helps. i’ll only use desktop stuff set up this way, the fan doesn’t come on.

I did a cyberdeck chuckle too when first doing this square peg in round hole -type exercise 😄

Didn’t think of that! Perfection proved thus to be an overstatement, although my docking arrangement (a tablet stand and a third-party usb-c dock) serves fine even when fully cased.

I got this and it’s pretty much perfect. Tight fit and a decent kickstand for the price of three beers.

One feature in SteamOS 3.5 to be aware of is support for Nix packages. Much much more selection there. I’m looking forward to having Sway or Hyprland launchable in game mode with custom Steam Inputs :)

that’s the challenge. a couple of things still bugging me on the layout but it’s absolutely usable and fun already.

I guess a demo will be necessary :)

Keeping it simple, I’d rather plug a power bank there :D Or a mini M-Audio keyboard.
