1I'm very happy with my [[Steam Deck]]. I also installed [[Bazzite]] a couple of times recently on the ASUS [[MiniPC PL63]] I have at the office, and then again recently on the [[ASUS ZenBook]] I dug out for the [[Z-Space Electronics Bazaar]].
2
3So, I'm spending some time getting the desktop setup on the Steam Deck. Here are a few notes on the setup.

5## June 9th, 2025

7Docked with the [[Home Lab]] KVM Switch [[VisionTek VT2900]], so full size mouse / keyboard / monitor / headphones etc. all plugged in. I already play some games on the Steam Deck this way for which a full keyboard + mouse works better.
8
9I didn't actually realize there is a Linux version of [[Obsidian]] -- great, installed!
10
11I already had Chrome installed, I ended up installing the 1Password browser extension and from there grabbed the [Flatpak install](https://support.1password.com/install-linux/).
12
13Which means being able to login to Bluesky and other things for reading and posting.
14
15Since I keep my main Obsidian vault (that runs this [[BMC]] site) in github, I had to figure out how to auth with github.
16
17Decided to create a deploy key for the repo, with write access.
18
19Then, on Steam Deck, Manually created the `.ssh` folder and copied the private key in as `id_ed25519`, learning once again that `chmod 0600` is the right permissions for a private key file.
20
21Cloned the repo and launched into it with Obsidian and now I'm typing this! Have to remember that I have the Obsidian config files in the gitignore. Might re-think that.
22
23Considered installing Discord, but just going to run that in a browser window.
24
25I haven't really gotten into anything other than VSCode based stuff, maybe I'll put Zed on here? [[micro]] and nano work fine too.
