Hey folks. I have been playing with my steam deck oled 1 TB version for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Very nice device on the go. The thing is I would like to use the device as a backup workstation for some quick important work on the go when I don’t have my laptop handy.

I would like to ask if Bazzite is a viable option for this. I know the deck is primarily a game console, but I want to use this beautiful thing to the best of my ability.

But what do you guys think if I replace the Steam OS with Bazzite? Should I just use Tails OS on a flash drive and then use Tails OS for work? Or is the Steam deck not yet ready to be used as a laptop backup?

Thanks in advance and I’d love to hear what you all think.

    Do you know if they every fixed the issues with M&K controls on games in Desktop mode? There are a few games I play a lot that just don’t work well with a controller for me, so this was a killer for my use case.

      I never really had issues with m&k so they probably did! What were the issues? The main game I played was New World and GW2, and that worked pretty awesome. I was even able to add some gamescope arguments to the startup to get FSR working for New World and have the performance be surprisingly good. I also had little issues with Pillars of Eternity once it was set up to play via M&K.
