Hey folks. I have been playing with my steam deck oled 1 TB version for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Very nice device on the go. The thing is I would like to use the device as a backup workstation for some quick important work on the go when I don’t have my laptop handy.

I would like to ask if Bazzite is a viable option for this. I know the deck is primarily a game console, but I want to use this beautiful thing to the best of my ability.

But what do you guys think if I replace the Steam OS with Bazzite? Should I just use Tails OS on a flash drive and then use Tails OS for work? Or is the Steam deck not yet ready to be used as a laptop backup?

Thanks in advance and I’d love to hear what you all think.

    No idea. But I would even be too lazy to pop in a hardware key. And too paranoid about getting the key stolen along with the Deck.

      That later I understand hahahaha. I just keep mine around for unlocking encrypted external hard drive that have been encrypted with a password and the hardware key that is just hidden in a place that only I know about. But then I would need to wait for that or just use Tails OS for the time being.
