Is anyone using deck as PC ? Opening Firefox seems very detrimental. Running top shows CPU uses almost/beyond 100%. Generally for 2 processes Firefox and Isolated Web Co. Is there some kind of workaround? Or would it be better to just install normal Linux (instead of SteamOS)?

Ive been using it at my main terminal with an external monitor for some time now.

Are you saying Firefox is using 100% CPU constantly? Any other issues? More details as to what is happening would help.

Yes Firefox is definitely CPU intensive, please let me know what further details are needed. I only ran top when I noticed unresponsiveness
