It was not too hard if you are already familiar with Nix. The features supported (and the custom Linux kernel) can be found in surface-linux. For NixOS I used the nix-hardware flake to simplify things.
The worst part was the compilation of the Linux kernel, that took hours on the surface. Eventually, I used the remote nix build feature to compile on a more capable computer.
I have a Microsoft Surface 7 running NixOS. Everything works, even touch/pen
I wanted something like this! I think I’m gonna give this a shot, thank you for sharing your work

YYYY-MM-DD is easier to get sorted since most significant number is on the left.

It is a very misleading number/information.

If you are using Unity you can check this online session to get started integrating ROS in Unity.
My goal is to figure out a system where I can declare the shape of a robot like this (armature size, number of joints, offsets etc) to create a virtual model of the robot.
This sounds like URDF.
Now, I’m sure there are systems and packages that do all the math for this already, so what tools/libraries do you guys use to do modeling like this?
It is normal to use ROS to send instructions and receive feedback from robots, you can also setup a simulated environment with ROS and Gazebo.
ROS can be a bit rough to get into, if you need any help, you can post on the ROS community.
I use both Julia and Rust, I did shot a few times in the foot with Julia (for instance, getting memory leaks on the GPU). Now, I use Julia (the REPL) when I want to quickly script some code and use Pluto.jl to plot data and teach programming.
It uses X11. I am using Foxglove on a container and exposing a port. I didn’t tried Rviz, but it probably is not straightforward to make it work. So I went directly to a web-based viewer.
The downside to disable the read only system file is that you will delete any changed file and installed package when you update SteamOS.
I used homebrew to install podman. Since homebrew creates a folder in /home/linuxbrew/ there is no problem with the read only system.
Yeah, although I don’t like this approach. Using containers seems to be the best choice here. In this way you can keep the default/custom Steam bindings, which is very useful. And you don’t have the audio, sleep, OS or battery problems they talk in the video. I would argue that “desktop use” is not the best use for a Steam Deck, but more as a field computer.
Yes, I believe it has plenty advantages in using the steam deck vs android tablets. Instead of installing Ubuntu on my Steam Deck, I utilize Podman and Podman Compose to launch the necessary ROS nodes.
My Steam Deck records compressed RGB+D and LiDAR data into rosbags, while running a LOAM-based algorithm and visualizing the map in real-time. During this process, the CPU usage remains around 70%. The primary consumer of system resources was Chrome, (running Foxglove), which accounted for approximately 17% of CPU usage. This leaves room to experiment with more resource-intensive algorithms (which I will be doing in the future). I think I could not have managed this in a tablet for the price of the Steam Deck.
The presence of joysticks on the Steam Deck proves useful for utilizing it as a controller, another benefit versus using an Android tablet. Although I have not yet messed with the joysticks, only with the back buttons to add a few keybindings.
I can help you mod this community if you want.
Make sense. I’ll make a comment so you can add me as a mod
