  • I use the steam deck as my main computer running the stock steam os.

    I’m currently using distro box to set up different programming environments. This is possible on steamos, which has the system directories as read only, by installing podman into the home directory. Distro box have a guide for steamos setup.

    I run neovim but I would think you could run vs code if you use it. Haven’t tried running a web server on it yet, but again, should be possible. Or, you can get yourself a cheap vps from digital ocean or linode if you really want to learn Linux the hard way!


  • The one thing I really liked about sway/i3 was having numbered spaces. The tiling I could take or leave, sometimes it was annoying if you hadn’t put in rules for an app. E.g. gimp used to have multiple windows back in the day and it was a bit of a mess

    So for the work spaces I setup, I did 1 for general, 2 for web browser, 3 for code editor, etc. I really liked that and it became muscle memory.

    I’ve got a Mac for my job provided by work and I’ve done the same thing and setup workspaces in the same way. I use Ctrl+number to get to a space.

    Might be worth an experiment setting up key binds to take you to a specific workspace. I think you’d like it! :)
