Getting my steam deck tomorrow. Already had Linux like steam deck on my laptop a while ago (didn't work well because fuck Nvidia)

But wanted to know what you all think is important to put on a steam deck, that's not something that's not what duckduckgo says with the websites it has. (I worded that horribly)

What are some niche things can I could do/install/play on the steam deck that most people wouldn't really do or think about doing?

I don't know a lot about Linux as I wish but I know a ok ish amount. Just wanting to find anything really interesting or useful to do with my steam deck

Also anybody know any casual games I can play randomly on public transit and don't have to sit down and play. Things that I can just easily stop. (Something like balentro kinda way you can just stop whenever)

Thanks for that. Didn't know about nested desktop. Pretty easy to install and use, too. Just not sure how to close it properly.

YW! It shuts down either with the Steam button menu like any other app or game, or you can double click the Return to Gaming Mode icon. Either one.

I will try that, thanks.
