===== First commands =====

  * Initial setup hangs at '1 second remaining': poweroff the steam deck, and have it connect to a 2.5Ghz network. I did run the wlan chip of my Thinkpad with Fedora38 in Access Point mode for this.
  * Desktop mode: power off menu, choose desktop mode
  * run ssh:
    * enter desktop mode, start kconsole
    * 'passwd' to set a password for the user
    * %%'sudo systemctl enable --now sshd'%%
    * 'ip a s' to see the current IP addressses
    * from remote system: ssh deck@<ip>
  * invoke virtual keyboard on the screen: <steam-button>+<X-button>
  * Install flatpak: 'pacman -S flatpak'
  * **RetroDeck** emulation platform
    * https://retrodeck.net/
    * https://flathub.org/apps/net.retrodeck.retrodeck -- install details
    * run it: 'flatpak run net.retrodeck.retrodeck'
    * Amiga disk file format: https://retrox.tv/multi-disk-support/
  * **mosh**
    * 'pacman -S mosh'
    * locale errors: 'pacman -Syu glibc; locale-gen'
  * Disable touchscreen without a HDMI screen configured
    * I was curious on how this changes power consumption
    * configuration: install arandr with 'pacman -S arandr', go to desktop mode, run 'arandr' from a terminal, disable internal screen
    * => disabling touchscreen vs. dimmed down touchscreen brings down consumption by 0.7W

===== pacman cheatsheet =====

===== Fedora =====
You can nicely install Fedora 39. Ventoy did not start, but writing a Fedora server image to a usb-stick, putting that into the steck deck dock, then keeping "volume down" pressed and pressing "power" allows to boot from the usb-stick. Also booting from usb3-connected NVMe enclosure works, but that is later in Anaconda not available for Fedora installation. Installing onto microsd card works.

I run Plasma. nebula virtual vpn. RHEL9 virtualized via KVM. Remote desktop via VNC works nicely: just execute 'krfb'. Plasma can also nicely do scaling, do you can stuff quite some things onto the 1280x screen.
