It’s been kinda a slow week as far as Deck news goes, so seems like a good time for a discussion post.
What’s something that’s significantly improved your deck experience? It can be a hardware accessory, software, decky plugin, etc.
It’s quite technical, but enabling ssh has made it much easier to transfer files over.
Yeah, ssh and ftp are really handy. Warpinator is also a really easy way to do file transfers for people who want something pretty easy to set up.
I use localsend
Localsend is awesome, cross platform and fast, love it
I can also recommend KDE connect, does not work well on most public WiFi though.
Honestly, Emudeck has been a game changer. I love how it just sets up all the emulators pretty fast and I just drag and drop and im off to the races with default controller layouts.
This is peak laziness, but I installed a tablet mount on my bed’s headboard so when I lay down I can just have the deck screen in front of my face. I use an 8bitdo controller so I don’t have to hold my hands in the air.
I was originally going to get one of those gaming glasses that are advertised for the deck, but this accomplishes the same goal of comfortably gaming while laying down.
