Thanks for introducing me to ProtonDB 😁 Back to gaming after a wee hiatus since selling the C64 🤣

I recall a tool that might have been called Ramme did this. Used it when I deleted my IG account a long while back.

I have a needlessly complicated but high quality signal path (USB-C to A dongle -> some extension cable -> Edirol UA-1D -> looong Toslink optical cable -> active speakers) to play music off Spotify and MPD on the Deck to entertain the family and guests.

Keeping it simple, I'd rather plug a power bank there :D Or a mini M-Audio keyboard.

... and put a ridgeline and a pouch on the line on it so you have a place to put the Deck in when you need it off your hands.

You assume correct. It wouldn't be a bad tool for sequencing disco lights and pyrotechnics either, I'd imagine :D

One feature in SteamOS 3.5 to be aware of is support for Nix packages. Much much more selection there. I'm looking forward to having Sway or Hyprland launchable in game mode with custom Steam Inputs :)

I guess a demo will be necessary :)

Noita 👍

I have a noname chinese case on the deck, and it's got a but of a lump in the back which clears the intake vent. that helps. i'll only use desktop stuff set up this way, the fan doesn't come on.

I got this and it's pretty much perfect. Tight fit and a decent kickstand for the price of three beers.

perfect. there's yet more in the parent directory.

I did a cyberdeck chuckle too when first doing this square peg in round hole -type exercise 😄

2023 14-inch oled i5 here. there was an easy fix for no audio on speakers, a udev drop-in iirc. it's been an awesome machine all round. on mobile now but i might post a link later.

Looks like the fix is likely already in the kernel. Patches have been submitted towards the end of December 2023. Remember this won't help if you use an old kernel (Arch, BTW, has the latest :o)

Cheers man!

Same! I've been slowly building a pretty solid custom controller setup for it too. Oh, and found a tiny M-Audio USB keyboard from a flea market, also great with the Deck.

i might be wrong, but setting up the steam client as an option in whatever display manager ('login screen') one uses would likely work. i've done that with renoise the music tracker.

that's the challenge. a couple of things still bugging me on the layout but it's absolutely usable and fun already.

It might fit on top of the screen if one doesn't have a body case fitted to the Deck like I do (there's a kickstand bulging the backside of the case). But I carry the keyboard under the elastic band under the official case, giving the official case the added super power of being able to stand upright :D

GNU Guix. Need to do an Ayahuasca ceremony sometimes and try again with a much more radiant mind.

Once it's really qood I will. Still some way to go, should get back to it.

Can't recommend any, I learned by trial and error on the Amiga circa 1989 :D

Renoise does come with a bunch of tutorial modules and surely there is some good learning material on Youtube.

the kb fits the elastic in the back when carrying, not inside like this tdough.

FastTracker II and a bunch of samples.

Didn't think of that! Perfection proved thus to be an overstatement, although my docking arrangement (a tablet stand and a third-party usb-c dock) serves fine even when fully cased.
