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:
- Steamdeck (LCD);
- SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
- Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
- DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
- Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.
Ambitions for this setup are:
- Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
- RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
- Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
- Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)
You know what, I was set-up in a tea room for 2hrs doing some life-admin (org-mode) and:
M-x text-scale-increaseoccurred - and I had to put my glasses on; andPotentiom 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)
