I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it's a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don't even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

Renoise music tracker DAW.

I'd be interested to know if you use any bindings/plugins for Renoise with steamdeck controls.

I use a headless M8 and run https://derkyjadex.github.io/M8WebDisplay/ in Edge (with launch options for game mode). But I didn't really put in the effort to try and make Renoise work without a keyboard/mouse.

I literally just started the work this week so I'm still trying to figure out what bindings work best for me.

Love a tracker! I saw people running dirtywave M8 headless on a steam deck. Needs a teensy connected and some packages/config, nearly tried it myself but got a preorder for a M8 instead.

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.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did you ever make the custom mapping available on Steam?

[–] tasankovasara@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

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

Thanks for a brilliant idea! Jamming sessions with deck would be awesome !
