Sounds like you need some more hobbies to throw at it. :-)

You could always inflate the numbers by giving it artificial load but I imagine that breaks a ToS somewhere.

I use Steam + Proton in an LXC so I can share the graphics card among several other containers. It works quite well with streaming once I got it set up.

With Plex you can go to https://app.plex.tv from your work computer and steam from your browser. That said, if you can install software, Plexamp is a great way to listen to and rediscover your music.

I’m glad to see there is now a free version of Plex Amp. This is, by far, my favorite way to stream my music library.

If you stream games or play multiplayer you may want to consider disabling that anyway as it dramatically improves the WIFI speed and reliability.

Most of the time it’s pretty simple to play non-Steam games. It’s made even better with Decky and SteamGridDB.

In a similar vain, enabling ssh and using that for config or moving files around has saved me a lot of typing.

Similar to how there are Mastodon hosting providers, I imagine Lemmy providers will eventually appear to make being your own admin even simpler.

My understanding is many SD cards have sub-optimal wear leveling compared with SSDs so there may be more to it than just writes per sector.

If it helps, I took mine apart this last weekend with no issues whatsoever.

No typo. I had my games on a 1TB microSD card and now they are on a 2TB SSD.

SanDisk 1TB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I. I play a lot of Diablo IV and Forza Horizon 5 and the loading screens are much faster.

My observation is that the SD card tops out around 30mb/s.

I did this for a while until recently I put in a 2TB SSD and the performance difference is night and day.

I at least suspect there will be a community porting some variant of SteamOS to the more popular handhelds.

Sometimes I’ll find myself streaming the Xbox or PS5 on the couch in front of the TV with it turned off.

Before I got a Deck I thought the hype could not be real. It’s over a year later and I still can’t put it down.

Not only does it work well for Steam games, it’s also really convenient for streaming PlayStation and Xbox games.

This is correct. Other servers will not connect with you if you don’t have a valid certificate.

You do need valid TLS and a cert can’t be directly issued on an IP.

Diablo IV runs really well on the Steam Deck.
