For anything that’s not a server I always use the unstable channel and add a stable overlay to specific packages that benefit from it

Appreciate the tip and the dock suggestion! And portability is a big motivation behind this setup so glad to hear

Can I ask if these were bluetooth controllers? Seems to be a trend

Didn’t know about the controller wake up or the CEC features so that’s cool to hear! And do you know if using a controller with a 2.4G dongle like some 8bitdo would be better for stability than a bluetooth controller?

I suppose I should have mentioned this in the post but I already have a computer I use for gaming at home, was specifically looking for something budget friendly to bring to friends houses and play games. Otherwise I prob would just build a sffpc

Still happy to hear your experience, is the deck running at 4k?

While it is ironic, the pixels are easy to unlock the bootloader and have good support across lineage, calyx, and graphene. Been using one to degoogle for awhile and would recommend them

I’ve been building out a neovim setup with the nixvim project, in the mean time been using vscodium with no complaints would recommend both options

If you need all the online features you can run gog galaxy through wine, however I just use heroic launcher instead. And you can add any executable to steam, if I’m not mistaken I think heroic has a setting to do it automatically

Oh yeah
