I use a deck to control robots at a theme park.

I saw someone doing this and geeked out so hard. Such a cool use of the Deck.

I use it as a general purpose computer. I set up an encrypted home partition by more or less following this guide: https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption. I have a bag that nicely fits the deck, charging cable, dock, and a 60% keyboard for travel.

I just picked up a 144hz USB-C 16" monitor with a magnetic cover like a tablet. Paired it with a mini tripod and designed/printed a magnetic bracket so the monitor just snaps on. Slides right into my tiny 13L pack (barely).

Happily, but… Of what exactly? Not sure if you just want to see layout, or the details of the 3d model, etc.

Still SteamOS. I tried bazzite since I loved it on my previous desktop I had but it was super unstable on my deck , no clue why.

Same, I use it as a PC to learn English, browse the Internet, play music and videos, write, and manage my files.

My friend screenshares shows with me and we watch and talk to help me fall asleep at night ❤️ It works better on the deck than my phone

Yeah, the Steam Deck is kind of the middle ground between a too big laptop and too small phone screen.

Ukrainians using it to control machine gun, so they dont have to expose themselves in trench warfare.

Can I sign up outsidee Ukraine (legally, too)? Like its only extra latency. I cant go to space but I can blow up Russian armor a gazillion miles away so thats something

Warfare isn’t a video game. I’m also sure they’re not giving control to unvetted people.
