Im curious if anybody uses their steam deck for something other than gaming? I saw a dude use it as a kareoke machine. I also saw a dude use it as a teleprompter (weirdest by far). With all the software you can buy on steam, what are creative uses for the steam de k that isnt gaming related?

    Do you use any encryption on it? I couldn’t find an easy way to have everything behind encryption, that’s the biggest stopper for me from going all in with my SteamDeck.

      We might actually be able to fully encrypt user directories thanks to systemd-homed soon. Gnome is working on this and KDE also relies on accountsservice, which means Plasma users might benefit from this as well one day

      Full disk encryption, I don’t think so. But kde comes with something called vaults, which are basically just encrypted folders that can be mounted after entering a password. You can also access them without a GUI because vaults seem to be a frontend for gocryptfs. That should be enough for sensitive personal files.
