In the interest of grabbing data points to plan for some tools for you all, I’m curious what the ratio of users are around here.
How many of y’all are strictly Game mode users, and how many of y’all use it like a laptop?
A lot of what I do on the Deck requires Desktop mode, mainly to get at a terminal and to configure Steam for pirated games. However, that doesn’t mean I couldn’t devise a tool that launches from Game mode to do the same things.
I suspect the latter is going to end up being something that I need to build to be the most useful to a wider audience, but for being pirates I’m sure most of you have entered Desktop mode numerous times for one reason or another.
Bought my 1st SteamDeck on a whim after a friend showed me. Had a big gaming rig back then. Within 2 months the rig ceased to get any use. Now I’m on a 2TB OLED SteamDeck with custom triggers and regret nothing, My kids play on my older Deck. Best gaming hardware I’ve ever owned (ref: C-64 was my first).
Ha! Sounds like a very similar experience to mine. The only thing I used my rig for was VR here and there (mostly No Man’s Sky), and then it fried itself and I wasn’t sad at all.
