Using the #SteamDeck to build #postmarketOS because it's the only computer I brought on vacation 😁
@fizzo this makes me eager to buy a steam deck
@danct12 When paired with an USB-C dock and a Bluetooth keyboard+mouse it makes for a nice on-the-go PC.
Also it is pretty powerful with 8 cores and 16GB RAM and the Arch-based Linux image is nicely crafted, with read-only rootfs and R/W home.
@fizzo
I found #arch to be a good choice for #steamdeck and the #aur to have many of the things I wanted to demo from #phosh #gnome mobile and other apps from #purism like calls, chatty, etc... And the steam deck ran them like a champ making exploring the #linuxphone much easier time wise than both my #pinephone and #librem5 -- although not as good a fit beyond demoing.
It helps to rotate the frame buffer in the kernel options and copy the rotation config from gnome to gdm for a phone like experience if that's your thing.
