Getting my steam deck tomorrow. Already had Linux like steam deck on my laptop a while ago (didn’t work well because fuck Nvidia)
But wanted to know what you all think is important to put on a steam deck, that’s not something that’s not what duckduckgo says with the websites it has. (I worded that horribly)
What are some niche things can I could do/install/play on the steam deck that most people wouldn’t really do or think about doing?
I don’t know a lot about Linux as I wish but I know a ok ish amount. Just wanting to find anything really interesting or useful to do with my steam deck
Also anybody know any casual games I can play randomly on public transit and don’t have to sit down and play. Things that I can just easily stop. (Something like balentro kinda way you can just stop whenever)

- Use the device as is. It doesn’t need a lot of tinkering. But in case you see your fav game is tagged as “unsupported”, check out the game on protondb.com. Chances are it’s probably well supported.
- If you intend to travel a lot with the device, you can buy an Apple AirTag or Tile
- The device is excellent for indie games, 2d/platformers
- If you want to connect it to your living room TV or use it as a gaming console, you can buy a dock and a pair of controllers. Great for local play.
