Is anyone using deck as PC ? Opening Firefox seems very detrimental. Running top shows CPU uses almost/beyond 100%. Generally for 2 processes Firefox and Isolated Web Co. Is there some kind of workaround? Or would it be better to just install normal Linux (instead of SteamOS)?

That shouldn't be happening. I use mine as a desktop all the time, Firefox is pretty snappy, with a whole bunch of tabs open and extensions. Sorry I can't give much more insight into what's happening, but it's definitely not right.
