I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it's a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don't even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

Someone is going to say porn, and for that person I want to know how the hell you hold that thing one handed (for long enough).

You don't have the fleshlight mount for SteamDeck ? Amateur.

They should really include that as standard.

I imagine someone would either connect it to a Monitor/TV or have it held up with a dock or something lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've got much better devices for porn, but it's pretty easy to use one-handed. Sit up with it on your lap. Lay down with your hand under it and the other side in the air, or with your hand on the top side and the other side resting the weight on your couch or bed.

If you couldn't do that you'd need a 3rd hand to use the touch screen.

Hmmm... I wonder if there's any porn games that support simultaneous controller and touch screen import.

You can plug it into a monitor or TV. Or you can use a stand.
