I love my deck because

it can play Steam games fairly well
it can play emulated game really well
but most importantly it's a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don't even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

I'd be interested to know if you use any bindings/plugins for Renoise with steamdeck controls.

I use a headless M8 and run https://derkyjadex.github.io/M8WebDisplay/ in Edge (with launch options for game mode). But I didn't really put in the effort to try and make Renoise work without a keyboard/mouse.

I literally just started the work this week so I'm still trying to figure out what bindings work best for me.
