2 months agoWhich distro did you stay on? I was trying Manjaro but Plasma had random freezes and stutters all the time, XFCE felt like an unfinished product and GNOME was even worse than XFCE. Solus Budgie gave me only black screens, and most others also didn’t run well on my old machine. Linux Mint runs stable so far and looks stunning and it also runs my games better than Windows 10 so that’s a win.
You should be able to access the laptop in some way. If it is an actual seedbox there may be some tool for access built in, or you could use ftp or similar file server software on the laptop, router or the Deck itself. For me, kdeconnect works sometimes but USB absolutely does. You may have some different underlying issue, maybe something’s broken? I’m downloading most of my games on the Deck itself anyway since using two devices at the same time feels more tiring.
