SteamDeck drawing setup (Huion HS64 and Krita) (programming.dev)

Recently I've been looking for creating a portable gamedev station, because I refuse to buy a (another) laptop for game-jams and out-of-home development. I need something able to run Unity/Godot, Krita and sometimes Blender. I already own a Steam Deck, and I thought it could be the solution. Installing this Huion tablet was kinda problematic since drivers are not made for Arch Linux based distros, but OpenTabletDriver via Flatpak made the day. Also Krita works quite nice!

Deck also serves as second screen to hold a mandatory htop and evaluate the performance.

Disclaimer: draw made by my girlfriend, I'm not that good yet. You can find her at ypsilenna.art.

I got a wacom intuos s (pug & play) for that reason, after having a couple of huions. Opentabletdriver only gave me problems (constant crashes and unstable functionality). I'd recommend you a foldable bluetooth keyboard for jams (check for one that work in usb mode too if you want to input the luks password or something like that). I've been using the deck as main pc for the last 6 months or so with debian, docked most of the time. Not a bad setup for the money.

This one is Logitech MX Keys, I'm using it as regular work keyboard (I'm software developer), but too big for jams, so I was thinking about something like MX Keys mini or Logitech Pebble, both TKL and bluetooth. Also a portable 15.6 screen because carrying this Lenovo one would be problematic.
