Thoughts on the official Steam Deck Docking Station

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: michaI have the official Steam Deck Docking Station station as well and I believe most issues come from the low power supply unit.

I exchanged the included 45W one (same as the one the Steam Deck ships) with a 90W charger. Since then the issues with displays and other peripheral reduced a lot. Not 100% perfect but before it was almost unusable.

Only makes sense if you'd power your monitor over the Dock/charger, I guess?

Nope, monitor has it's own power.


I noticed that the problems were far less when I used keyboard + mouse in bluetooth mode instead of USB. And I doubt that those two drain a lot. At least I would expect the standard power adapter to be able to handle such.

Maybe, its specific to the EU (and UK? )adapters and that's how it slipped quality assurance. Just a guess though.

It's as if they are creating device ecosystem that they want / enjoy themselves but also making it available to others in the process.

Quoting: ShabbyXWas going to buy, then I saw it said C#

It didn't really remind me of C#. It's comes down to two version of one simple mechanic:

1. Change variables within a script: Copy & Paste of values
2. References (public) variables across scripts: Copy & Paste of values as reference/pointer.

Anyone else getting greeted by Missing Executable:

?

Forcing Proton (tried Experimental, 7, and 6) I get greeted by an io exception. Same my Arch and my Fedora notebook.

Well, at least it works great on my Steam Deck.

Nice, gotta try this as a Steam Deck dev environment for compiling plain C / Vulkan apps on the device itself.

Valheim still has a "Native Linux", right? Or is it missing because it using Proton by default?
