I see people installing larger drives in their deck- I'm just not comfortable enough to do that, so looking for other ways around it.-wraith808 (August 31, 2022, 10:58 AM)
Ditto. But I think it's likely that the storage limitations, especially of the 64 GB Deck, will lead to frustrations and eventually end up with me opening it up to replace the internal storage with a larger drive.-Deozaan (September 01, 2022, 05:46 PM)
Yeah, I was thinking about it because even with 512 GB additional, I'm down on space-wraith808 (August 30, 2022, 01:01 PM)
Tell me about it! I don't have an SD card in my 512 GB Deck, and when I connected the 256 GB external drive and queued up a bunch of games I forgot to set default installation location to the external drive first. So it all went to the internal drive and I ran out of space. I had to keep moving games to the external drive as they finished downloading to make enough room for the next thing in the queue. I remember being surprised at how quickly the 64 GB Deck filled up after seemingly only a few games, even with a 128 GB SD card in it. So when I got hold of the 512 GB Deck it felt so spacious. But I have found myself surprised once again at how little space even the 512 GB feels like.
Maybe in a year or two I'll be able to afford a 1-2 TB SD card to help alleviate the storage issue.-Deozaan (August 30, 2022, 06:01 PM)

By all accounts on ProtonDB, Halo: The Master Chief Collection works just fine despite being ranked as Unsupported, with the caveat that the game's Easy Anti-Cheat doesn't work on Deck/Linux and therefore online multiplayer doesn't work. I'm not interested in the PvP anyway, but I do enjoy playing co-op through the campaigns. I haven't had a chance to test if co-op still works, whether online or via LAN, but I'm not sure why you'd need EAC for co-op in the first place. So I don't really have my hopes up but I'll keep my fingers crossed that co-op still works.-Deozaan (August 30, 2022, 11:26 AM)
And even better: I didn't think I was interested in setting up an SMB share but after seeing the image and skimming the instructions, I'm starting to see the potential appeal. I can see it being especially useful for having a large ROM/emulation library accessible on demand without having to take up space on the device itself.-Deozaan (August 30, 2022, 11:26 AM)
EDIT: I guess that answers that question. I just restarted the Deck while still plugged into the hub and now the drive is no longer showing up.-Deozaan (August 29, 2022, 03:26 PM)
but hopefully having part of my Steam Library on an external drive will be "plug and play" when I connect to or disconnect from the dock/hub.-Deozaan (August 29, 2022, 03:12 PM)
According to Gaming On Linux, you can now install Lutris from Discover.
Lutris adds Amazon Games integration, plus Flatpak finally out (good for Steam Deck)-Deozaan (August 26, 2022, 05:47 PM)
I followed your link and signed up for an account but could never get signed in. I had the DuckDuckGo extension installed but it would never accept my one-time passphrase and just kept reloading the login page. It was probably my ad-blocker (Brave Shields) interfering with things, but I didn't care enough about it to pursue it further.-Deozaan (August 28, 2022, 12:38 AM)
Are you by any chance running Skype or Teams on your Steam Deck (in the background)?-Shades (August 21, 2022, 06:32 PM)
I was reading a post on Obsidian Forum and picked up a casual reference to the Raindrop bookmarker/webclipper, and I started to wonder about privacy and security.-Dormouse (August 02, 2022, 05:13 AM)

Have fun!It's the same price as their full actual-dock which has more USB ports and ethernet and supports 4K@60Hz. The difference being that the actual JSAUX dock doesn't include a charger. But that charger is only 45W, just like the official Deck charger.
I don't think that's for me. On the other hand, I suppose it could be pretty nice to have when traveling, as a nice, compact way of keeping your options open.-Deozaan (July 30, 2022, 12:12 PM)
