Fair enough, I’ve only assumed Steam deck was “locked” to steam, but turns out its not. My bad for not having done proper research here.

Personally don’t have a deck… yet. I run Bazzite as my OS on my PC though. However, I read and see a lot of people running Bazzite on decks on forums and discord. This is also where i’d recommend going for answers such as you asked for. If I had to guess there isn’t much difference when it comes to battery life - they’re both running the same kernel. The reason you would want to switch, as shown on their website is to unlock the ability to run flatpak on your deck.

For anyone wanting to take the deck to the next level and unlock more functionality I can warmly recommend https://bazzite.gg/

Glad to hear about this! Everone has to start somewhere :) I am upost interested in these podcasts you mention, am an avid podcast enjoyer myself, so if you wouldnt mind sharing which ones you listen to?

Thanks for sharing, their videoes seem to be of high quality, defo something I’ll subscribe to.

This is pretty funny actually, I’ll start doing this 😅

Could you please explain the need for so many permissions(35)?

Like why would a board game need access to:

• Biometrics
• Fingerprint
• Receive Boot Completed??
