    Add a keyboard, mouse and monitor, which are already required for every other pc, and you can do everything on the steam deck that you can on any other pc. The steamdeck just has the additional functionality of working without those if you so choose.

      Ok, how do I use rsync on the deck then? (/s, but I’d still love to know)

        1. Turn on
        2. Open desktop mode (in power menu I think)
        3. Open terminal
        4. Type rsync <source> <destination>
        5. Press enter

          Wait, its installed by default? I assumed I had to install it, which would not be possible, because its immutable and there is no rsync flatpak (I think).

        Are you not aware of “Desktop mode”? Hold down the power button for a few seconds, click “switch to desktop mode,” and you’re literally using a fully functioning Linux PC.
