To really succeed as a developer, I’ve sometimes needed to be willing to make risky changes to my development machine, that I’m not willing to do to my gaming machine.
My plan is to install BazziteOS (Fedora Silverblue derivative) on the device to have a “stable” OS with all the dev environment on distrobox containers or something like that.
I’m not sure if it’s going to work, though.
Oh, for sure!
I did see lots of youtube videos using theese handhelds as “gaming pcs”, or from someone whose main workflow is office work… I’m having a hard time find any article about general development. At max, I did find some reddit comments saying they use a Steam Deck for gaming dev, which makes a lot of sense if the Deck is the target.
