So after my struggles getting this setup going I'm really enjoying this setup.

Thought I'd post here as there is quite a bit of intersectionality between the emacs, Arch, Steamdeck, Nix and Mechboards communities.

Spec as follows:

  1. Steamdeck (LCD);
  2. SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
  3. Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
  4. DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
  5. Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.

Ambitions for this setup are:

  1. Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
  2. RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
  3. Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
  4. Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)

Nah, it's pretty cool. My eyes and back hurt just looking at this setup though.

You know what, I was set-up in a tea room for 2hrs doing some life-admin (org-mode) and:

  1. A lot of M-x text-scale-increase occurred - and I had to put my glasses on; and
  2. Can confirm now have a slightly sore lower back

Potentiom other mod, a 3d printed stand/harness which goes around the shoulders and extends to hold the deck, for less backpain.

(Some 3d printed special parts, aluminium rods and some straps might be able to create a decent contraption that can be dismantled easily into a small footprint)
