Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck?

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 have it plugged into my TV via dock and use it to watch illegal video streams from sketchy websites that don't have apps. Most often they are live sports streams.

Could you point me in the direction of these sketchy websites? My wife watches a lot of sports and I am looking for a way to stop paying for cable. Most things I have found are very unreliable though.

Sportsurge.net is what I've been using for a long time. Goes without saying, but use an adblocker.
