When my Laptop died on the day my SteamDeck arrived, I was kind of thrown into the deep. I need a good mobile workstation on a regular basis and it's not like I can just throw a Linux on this mobile console ... oh wait I can.
This should not have went as good as it did.
This talk will be about my journey of doing on-the-go Game Development on a SteamDeck using FOSS tools such as Godot4, Blender and even Inkscape. I'm using nixOS/jovian to not only keep the configuration of my Desktop and Deck the same, but also help me build the Kernel Patches you should use for running Linux on a Deck.
This is going to be entertaining, if you like doing dumb stuff on awesome hardware.
But it's also going to be educational, if you want to get into using nix for building, configuring a nixOS and doing FOSS Game Development.
Mentions Mental Health struggles.
I'm a Designer/Developer/Artist and I do great things using FOSS Software. That means have made everything from character rigs for my Little Pony fan projects to a research application, that is unironically being used in rocket science right now.
But most of you will probably know me trough the contributions in the realms of Accessibility and Design for CCC.
