New Deck owner asking…

- GIMP Image Editor comes in handy. The key-binds are clunky AF tho to my photoshop-brain; still getting used to it. But it’s nice to be able to do some quick edits of images/screenshots etc before posting or using.
- Spotify. Nice to have music playing in the background while playing games. There is a Decky Loader plugin that will let you control it via the Quick Access Menu.
- Discord. Handy for community oriented games etc. Or just group chat in or outside of games.
- Google Chrome, Web Browser; typing this in Chrome on the Deck right now…
- Transmission, File transfer/download client.
- Kodi, for any media files or watching movies, and also handy for playing Decky Recorder clips back.
Have to repost this because apparently the ridiculous auto-prune bot flags/removes mentions of a valid file transfer protocol.
Kodi and a MicroSD card full of local media files. Boom, Steam Deck becomes an offline entertainment kit that’s a one stop solution while traveling… Bored of games? Watch some movies or a show. Go back to games when your mood changes. Bring your dock and plug it into your hotel TV for either.
Personally find the dock form-factor unnecessary; especially when your case has a kickstand.
I have a small USB-C hub I keep in my sling bag pocket, it’s way slimmer and more portable (ie. you don’t need to “make room” for a hub in your bag; it just slides in wherever; even in your jeans pocket).
