As expected, gov is paying me to play this 8 hours a day. Wish EU4 was more compatible with it. Maybe just 7.5 when you subtract my phone time. Had to do some training the other day, and just logged into the "teams" meeting, hit mute and almost missed when it was time to clock out. I hope I looked like I was masturbating all day to the other people on the call, and sure hope they didn't ask any questions.

So looking around for accessories and the Matte White DBrand Skin caught my eye, but holy fuck that installation seems tedious. Funny how I look at that task and I am like no fucking way, meanwhile I love the focus and challenge of painting minis. Weird how that works.

i ended up ordering a different carrying case, the one that comes with the 512gb is decent but its fucking lame it has no place for the charger, extra microSD cards, or bluetooth or battery bank. I bought this one for $20
Amazon product ASIN B09STVV9M8www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09STVV9M8/
should be here tomorrow. I only have two microSD cards, one 512gb with all my games and emu ROMs (and emudeck is installed on it) and another with windows 11 on it I can boot into for 100% compat mode, gamepass, epic games, GoG, etc.

also if you don't know you can install Steam Link on your desktop PC and "remote control" your deck, works in big picture (regular deck) mode or desktop mode
steamcommunity.com
turn that on and you can remote control your deck. Add a shortcut on your desktop and add "--windowed" to the shortcut and it'll run in windowed mode instead of annoying ass full screen
that plus enabling FTP/SFTP server in desktop config mode and you can pretty much remote in and do everything like its a linux server without having to use the deck buttons.
Steam Link now available on Windows 10 :: Steam Link Windows
The Steam Link app is now available for Windows 10 and 11. A wired network is strongly recommended. You can download the installer from Valve: https://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/windows/latest/SteamLink.zip

Was proton a seperate boot, or just additional install background stuff. Explain it as you would an utter retard, but I'd suck someones dick to get highfleet working.

I installed lutris and my steam deck - if you know what you are doing dont need tutorial just switch to desktop mode on deck, run discover app, and can install Lutris right from there
its pretty cool, let me log in to GOG and epic games on my deck and then install/play every free game I own on those platforms and even add them to the deck games list to play in deck mode. Could also do Ubisoft and EA (Origin) games but not much of a burning desire to do those, plus I bought games there whereas my GOG/EGS account is just filled with endless trash/free games.
You can also run xCloud games inside that framework although thats really just "run chrome browser, point to xbox.com/play". Hopefully Lutris or Heroic Launcher work with gamepass games in the future, then I wouldn't really need a microSD card with win11 on it at all.

Hello, I just got my deck .... now the big "?" starts as I am a Windows Gamer and never went into Linux
1) I have not everything in Steam, so I am looking forward to at least add EPIC and UPLAY (for AC Odyssey) > is the best way to do this via "heroic" or are there other ways better ?
2) XBOX Gamepass is only via Cloud Streaming or ? (if you don't install Windows 11)
3) What are the best resources for "Dummy" Guides on this topic ?
Thx in advance
Greetings

They were pretty recent, just look for long walls of text. I'm still figuring it out myself.

i posted a video about lutris above, it imports epic/uplay games directly into steamOS
dunno yet about gamepass, yeah xcloud works
join and browse daily the steam deck subreddit, people post shit loads of guides and "just bought a steam deck? heres what to do" shit. i learn stuff from it weekly

my honest advice is pick ONE SINGLE GAME you really wanna play and work on making it work. For me it was Simpsons Hit and Run, no reason at all I never played the game before no nostalgia but I love the Simpsons and it let me fuck around with Proton levels, installing stuff, using the Donut mod system, etc etc and it took 3-4 hours and now it runs beautifully. Played for 3-4 hours, was super happy, and now I'm gonna focus on how to make Ocarina of Time run beautifully under a nintendo emulator with mods and shit.
If you go the other way, "i'm gonna install EVERYTHING and play EVERYTHING!" you will just drown in information and get nothing done
