I used Ubuntu briefly years ago but never really dove into the world of Linux. Are there any useful or fun programs for Linux that work well in desktop mode on the deck? Thanks

For games, there’s Heroic Games Launcher or Lutris which allow you to run non-steam games easily.
- Komikku if you like reading manga this app is amazing.
- Parabolic used to be called tubeconverter and it’s (imo) the best gui app to download youtube videos.
- Mousai is basically Shazam for linux. Can listen to mic or desktop audio.
- Newelle give chatGPT access to a linux terminal, what could go wrong?
- Live Captions listens to words and makes captions in real time.
Annnd that’s all I can think of rn
Warpinator is really simple for moving files between devices over the local network. I have been using it without any problems between Linux desktop PC, Steam Deck, Windows desktop PC and an Android phone.
One feature in SteamOS 3.5 to be aware of is support for Nix packages. Much much more selection there. I’m looking forward to having Sway or Hyprland launchable in game mode with custom Steam Inputs :)
