I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it's a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don't even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

I've been meaning to install ROS (Robot Operating System) on it, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

It's actually my main travel computer. I bring it to work with a Bluetooth keyboard and a little nreal glasses display if I need it. I find that the form factor reduces back and neck strain by allowing me to use different muscle groups. I changed the desktopofe controls to map to a bunch of keyboard shortcuts to make it so that I rarely need the keyboard. I mostly do coding and research on it.

At home, I continue my work on my hammock.
