The Steam Deck
The Steam Deck video review
Hi. It looks like Valve corporation is selling The Steam Deck at a loss for just $500. They probably are counting on steam deck owners to buy a lot of video games from their store. I don't play video games, can The Steam Deck be used as a regular computer by installing Linux or OpenBSD on it? Is is a good idea? What do you think? |

It has very good specs for a $500 device. I want to buy it for just $500 and use it as a desktop computer: connect it to a monitor, add keyboard and mouse, install Fedora and/or OpenBSD on it. Looks like a pretty good deal to me. Of course if it is capable to work as a desktop computer.

That's an interesting idea but you would have to buy the dock as well to provide an ethernet connection for installation.
SteamOS uses a custom kernel, compiler and graphics stack for the deck so it probably needs custom drivers. If anybody wants to try here are the instructions for booting an ISO image: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faq...EDF2-EB6D-2BB3

It sounds to me like this is a long shot however, if you are in mood and have the guts and technical stamina to embark upon a highly technical and potentially aggravation whenj things don't go exactly the way you want them to go.
