what are y'all's thoughts on steam deck btw
I like how versatile the touchpad is
@Coyote yeah I did run into a fair share of issues, my biggest simply being the controller configuration being reset to default whenever steam is running. There's some kind of background service that handles the controller with right trigger and touchpad as a fake mouse, but it's not nearly as useful as the custom configurations.
Apparently Valve disabled the keyring in pacman? I went into pacman.conf and all of the Valve repositories had signing disabled and trying to update from the AUR or default repos just failed every time because the keyring was read only. I'm not sure why they did that.
Otherwise it's been mostly smooth sailing. The minor annoyances are things I can deal with I guess
@Coyote Yeah I already got the controller part down, the issue is just that it doesn't keep the custom bindings when Steam isn't left open
I did try repopulating the keyring and disabling steamos-readonly mode (whatever that is) but it didn't work, so I resorted to turning off package signing entirely. I've been using flatpak for mostly everything so far wherever possible
@bonkmaykr I wish I had one, but in reality I probably wouldn't just it much.
Physically, it's also pretty good. I find it sits too low naturally in my hands (my thumbs hang off the top of the device), but it isn't uncomfortable to shift my grip. The touchpads are nice, but I find most games never use them by default. Most of the time they're setup to use the analog stick and, if more precision is required, gyro with the touchpad being ignored or set as a mirror for the stick. For mouse heavy games, I could see it being useful if you didn't want to use the touch screen. I use the touchpads mostly desktop mode to hit play on VLC.
