Seen a few times bazzite has been mentioned, but just have seen another user say they have OpenSUSE installed.
I’m not sure what the benefits of these options are, especially non-steamOS ISOs?

I saw a video recently where a Steam Deck was repurposed as a robotics controller and monitor unit for prototypes. Having an off-the-shelf highly customizations controller for $350 is a steal for this industry, but they’re not using it for games.

I’ve seen videos where they used it as a drone controller in Ukraine. Truly a marvellous machine.
Maybe a little excessive for just drone operation and communications, but the formfactor of a handheld console is where the sweet spot is. I feel like if they’d make them for $100 with something akin to a 10-years old hardware in a rugged everything-proof body, it can become a standard in the future. Cheap drones have shown they can drop bombs alright, so there’s probably a market for a cheap controller made just for that.
The great thing about the Steam Deck is that it’s basically just a Linux PC. That makes it easy to adapt for any purpose. It also has a good screen and great controls. That would be hard to do for $100. And by military hardware standards, it’s already dirt cheap.
