I started “The Odin Project” in the deck, because the course prompted me to either mess with WSL2 on windows or switch to linux, so the SteamDeck it is :)

I also set up a secondary setup for my girlfriend with it, even tho my initial intention was to use it handheld most of the times, but it has worked out beautifuly, even with dual monitors!

And I use it as a SmartTV tool, I take it from my desk and dock it on the living room

Hey man! Really happy it’s you :), congrats

My comments from someone who doesn’t know much about programming yet:

• Make the “get in touch” button functional
• The “Language” category could be named “Experience working with:” Or something more professional
• Search for better logos for the programming languages you know, and make them smaller
• Many elements have contrast issues, black text on very dark blue backgrounds, etc. That’s very very important
• Cursor doesn’t change on top of links

Idea:

• The landing page could contain some pictures of your best websites or more visually pleasing projects. And if this is a personal website “watchlist” and such are okay, but if it’s meant to be a portfolio for companies… Keep it professional

Overall, it was still okay, but needs some polishing

I just lend my steam deck to my girlfriend and she games around, your aproach is 100% valid

Valve released a console, and you can use it as you wish, if you want help with installing wayland let me know, or you can search for any other tutorial online

Have fun gaming :)

Waydroid in this tutorial is running in a “cage” so it can run under X11 which is an older system used by the current KDE version in the steamdeck.

To install it on bazzite (under Wayland instead of X11), it’s even simpler.

   rpm-ostree install waydroid

and

   sudo dnf install waydroid

So if you are ussing bazzite, follow first option here

For me it usually comes to:

• Android TV to dock the steam deck on my living room and use it as such
• Some very specific games, like PvZ2, or roblox
• Specific apps like “Stremio”, have a better touch screen experience under Waydroid compared to their flatpack version

You are right

But in this case, the “steamos-waydroid-installer” creates a cage ( A wayland compositor running X11), and uses XWayland to render that. That creates a nested Wayland environment, with some overhead, but it works :))

Edit: The good thing is, overhead isnt nearly even a problem, since you’re probably not getting the steamdeck to suffer under android emulation. Still, I believe and hope next big SteamOS update will switch to Wayland, leaving X11 behind

I wish I hadn’t sold mine, jailbreaking seems fun.

I remember being younger and seeing these crazy “jailbroken ps4” videos, specially gta V vids, fun stuff.

Anyway, thanks!

It’s honestly sad, almost to the point where defederating from them would be better

But I’m sure we’d be loosing good people from hexbear too

Is your statement true? Probably

But if we set our standards to “enough”, there wouldn’t be any progress

Was the switch enough for couch gamers? Sure. Did valve want to progress further? They did.
