GIMP Image Editor comes in handy. The key-binds are clunky AF tho to my photoshop-brain; still getting used to it. But it’s nice to be able to do some quick edits of images/screenshots etc before posting or using.
Spotify. Nice to have music playing in the background while playing games. There is a Decky Loader plugin that will let you control it via the Quick Access Menu.
Discord. Handy for community oriented games etc. Or just group chat in or outside of games.
Google Chrome, Web Browser; typing this in Chrome on the Deck right now…
Transmission, File transfer/download client.
Kodi, for any media files or watching movies, and also handy for playing Decky Recorder clips back.
Have to repost this because apparently the ridiculous auto-prune bot flags/removes mentions of a valid file transfer protocol.
Kodi and a MicroSD card full of local media files. Boom, Steam Deck becomes an offline entertainment kit that’s a one stop solution while traveling… Bored of games? Watch some movies or a show. Go back to games when your mood changes. Bring your dock and plug it into your hotel TV for either.
Personally find the dock form-factor unnecessary; especially when your case has a kickstand.
I have a small USB-C hub I keep in my sling bag pocket, it’s way slimmer and more portable (ie. you don’t need to “make room” for a hub in your bag; it just slides in wherever; even in your jeans pocket).
