The fact that I’m able to set my Deck up as a development machine is next level. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Awesome video.

Thanks man, I'm getting my deck on 22nd and going to use it as my only leisure/study/work device. And with your videos, I might actually be able to start my journey through programming at last. I really appreciate your content, keep it up😊

Tysm for the tutorial, especially for the tip to use homebrew and the terminal profile fix!

Fantastic vid! Thanks. 👍🏽 Got my steam deck last week and thanks to your vid ill be using it for my python studies as well.

I usually bring my steam deck to work and sometimes i use it to create personal frontend projects. I really like it so far as it kinda forced me to become familiar with linux since I've only ever used windows to code (my company provides a thinkpad, so it's still windows). It's also kinda embarrassing how my steam deck is more powerful than my company's thinkpad 😅. There was one day wherein I have no tasks for the day so I went on to experiment Ollama for fun. Since the steam deck was already on linux, ollama had no issue on running it there and the text generation was decently fast. In comparison, my thinkpad's wsl was damn slow in producing the generative texts 😅. Really makes me appreciate just how good and how capable the steam deck truly is.

thank you so much for this amazing tutorial

Hello everybody! I have my Steam Deck about one month and it was hard to get some things working on Desktop Mode. Finally with some "Little help of my Friends!" (means a lot of different tutorials and tips and tricks), I have it working on my needs. Thank you for this great video, I' still learnig a lot. 🙂

People really underrated how far the deck can go

Good thing i watched this. Didn't know updates will wipe

plz more videos about how to code in Steamdeck !! thank you so much Wootten!

I had no idea brew was also available for linux. Pretty cool way of going about it

Man I just use the Steam deck with Windows as data analyst, photographer and also for gaming. I can tell all of you just buy one this is the best pc that can exist for travelling, playing, remote work everything… I cant imagine how this thing cost me only 400€. Just dual boot with Steam os or Forget Steam os and go for full normal Windows 11. The best Decision in my Life …. What I am going to do with my Mac Pro and my 1500€ gamer pc … I can Even play fc 24 in 60fps everywhere

I have been using a immutable distro daily like SteamOS, so I would just recommend using distrobox and flatpaks

I'm not familiar with linux so this is informative for me about the limitations of steam os

Hi Ian. Do you think it is a good idea to buy a steam deck as a device for doing web development? 399usd its a crazy price for a device with that specs. But I am afraid for the read only nature that need a consistent update and wipe everything including the dev environment. Or I can install windows on it?

I did find video where some person manage to install docker with distrobox. But fail to do so myself. Did you try that?

Really wondered how it'd be to use the steam deck for coding since steamOS its a PC and still uses linux, i heard about someone using unreal engine 5, but yeah the immutable aspect of it will only benefict the use case that its meant to unfornatly, ending up to afect the strengths of a standard distro, so developing in here maybe only on Distro Box, which i'd be very interested to see as another user mentioned or with another OS installed overall, which well ofc it can code then but defeats the porpouse with steamOS 3. Looking foward to see more of this in case you have plans :) Cheers.

I wondered why my Steam Deck wouldn't play my packaged exe Pygame files. I already had them coded, packaged, and working on my pc, so i thought I'd move them over to the Steam Deck to see if it'll work there. Unfortunately the Pygame games I made won't run, even on Proton experimental. The shell python exe games I made do seem to work though (albeit at a resolution that is rather impractical).

Have you tried using Distrobox? I have a follow up video where I use it on the deck.

Hi Ian! I just started watching videos on your channel and you make quality content, but there's one big issue: your microphone picks up the typing noises from your keyboard and amplifies them a lot. It looks like you invested in a good quality microphone and it's just kind of a shame that it picks up so much noise. Consider placing your microphone on top of some foam or purchasing a microphone shock mount to absorb the vibrations coming from your desk - it will improve your videos' sound quality significantly!

Thanks for the kind comments Yoav! I use an overhead camera on it's own arm along with the mic so getting it all together is a bit of a challenge.

THIS VIDEO WILL DECIDE IF I USE ALL MY SAVINGS OR NOT.

Just installing everything as a flatpak with the --user option would work too, right? I've not used my Steam Deck as a desktop at all, preferring instead to leave it as a pure gaming machine.

Not sure. I ended up using this with distrobox in a later video which ended up sorting out many of my issues.

Steam doesn't have any code editors?

Is it possible to install and run VMWare Client? If so, is the performance good? It would be perfect if I could run my development environment, which is set up in a vm, on the steam deck.

@IanWootten

No idea if it's possible, but I'd guess performance would be pretty bad. Distrobox seems to be the most common option, I have a follow-up vid on this too.

Honesty the way my mind works.. when the steamdeck was even talked about I immediately wondered can you do coding.. what if someone does black and white hat things on it.. and can I play Truck Simulator 😆. In theory all these things are possible.

Black and white hat programming is just simple networking tools so I'd expect so. Looks like both Euro and American truck simulator work on the deck.

it says "permission denied" for the docker.socket. maybe all you need is to put your user "deck" in the docker group. usermod -a -G docker deck

My best guess: It's not within one of the directories that currently appear on your path. Try "echo $PATH" and see if it's what you expect.

It does look like it right? I've just attempted this, but it returns the Unit docker.service is not found. Having looked up the 'proper' docker install process for arch, it appears it should be enabled first but in doing so also complains that docker.service does not exist either. 😕 I guess it really wants to be installed via pacman.

Hello! There is a request! Can you make a video on how to prepare a recovery file on a micro sd card on the steamdeck itself, that is, I have a steamdeck, I have a replacement nvme 512 and a 32GB SD card, I don’t have a computer, I can’t use Rufus, respectively, the following is written on the official page: or if you prefer you can do this directly from the command line: bzcat steamdeck-recovery-4.img.bz2 | sudo dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/sdX oflag=sync status=progress bs=128M (set / dev / sdX to the USB device you inserted) that is, you can prepare a sd card for system recovery on the steamdeck itself, I have no experience and I don’t understand how to register the sd card slot dev/mmcblk0p1 or something else + I've never used the command line at all and I don't know what other pitfalls there might be! What do you say, can you make such a manual ?!
