Is anyone using the steam deck as their day to day computer? (lemmy.ml)

I just plugged the steam deck in to a monitor and while I was transferring some roms and started to wonder if it would be feasible to use as a day to day computer while docked.

It is, though for a fully fledged Desktop experience you should wipe SteamOS and install an actual desktop distribution.

Apart from the obvious problem of launching it (though surely there are scripts for this) when connecting to an external display, desktop mode launches KDE which is an extremely capable desktop environment. What more would you get out of a desktop distro, and how useful would those things be compared to losing big picture mode on startup?

Other "more capable distros" let you install applications other than flatpak, and it don't get wiped out with one update, it's the only think differently i guess, but i use fedora and install mostly of my applications as flatpak anyway, so idk

Immutable distributions are the future. I'd suggest getting used to them. Fedora Kinoite is my daily driver on my PC.

but you can install rpm on ostree distros, not in something like steam deck
