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?

How to watch YouTube on Steam Deck? Via Desktop Mode?

Go into desktop mode and add Firefox as a non steam game. Then you can access it from gaming mode.

I use an app called FreeTube, I believe it uses Piped in some way and integrates SponsorBlock and DeArrow. You can install it through Discover and then add it to your Steam Library and use it in game mode (works best with the Web browser Steam Input config).
