    I use my Steam Deck as a PC. I mainly use it for web development. The integration between my containerized services (via distrobox) and my IDE was giving me problems, so I went with Nobara Linux. I don’t do a ton of gaming on it these days, but when I do, it is usually 2d games. They work absolutely wonderfully. At the end of the day, it’s just a laptop, and in desktop mode (with an external monitor and keyboard), it is perfectly capable of everything I need it to do.

    I have a separate “gaming” layer on my keyboard. That way I disable all the autoshift, and other weird layouts/functionality I use for typing/coding. QMK and other keyboard firmwares are pretty powerful and feature rich. So there are plenty of ways to get around situation, including using a combo of key presses to toggle the autoshift functionality for instance.

    Also, for context, minimizing finger and wrist movement is far more important for my use cases than typing speed is. To that end, I split my spacebar in half and put backspace and shift under my right thumb. I only use autoshift for my number row.
