Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for? (reddthat.com)

I also use it as a regular old PC. I work from home (design, illustration), and do all of it on a Deck plugged into a dock.

So much, that I slapped Bazzite on my 2 desktop PCs, and I have been thinking about Ublue Core for my server.

Thanks to Nixpkgs I've not had to worry about programs, but I sometimes miss having quicker access to DE and driver level stuff.

Does Bazzite have KDE 6 and fresher Bluez setup on the Deck?

I don't use Bazzite on the Deck. I use it on my desktop rigs. Yes, Bazzite has KDE 6, it's based on Fedora 41. As for Bluez, I don't know, but everything I tried , worked flawlessly.
