Quoting: PenglingQuoting: MayeulCI started detailing the technicalities, then realized that is not what you were after... Well, if I can't use the Steam deck, I can plug the SSD into another computer to retrieve data. I can also boot it up on another computer, but the SD is better (my desktop randomly loses the USB controllers sometimes, which makes USB boot unreliable, and my other laptop only has 4GB of RAM).Thanks much for taking the time to reply.
I have priority though, as this is now my "work laptop" replacement (where the SSD originally comes from).I'm most curious about using it in place of a laptop - do you use the dock (not necessarily connected to an external monitor) for this?
No worries, I always check my GoL notifications, even if I don't visit the website every day :)
I use the USB-C input (Display Port Alt mode plus PD charging) of my DELL monitor (Daisy chained to a second one via a DP->VGA adapter), and connect the SSD to one of its side ports via USB. The setup is pretty solid, though it's tempting to disconnect the Steam Deck or turn the screen off (either would interrupt the connection to the boot drive, which would be a bad idea). No issues so far though, and the Steam Deck, even with this complicated setup, has had one of the most robust suspend and resume implementation I've ever encountered on Linux. There were a few hiccups with Daisy Chaining due to an AMD regression on recent kernels, but it's getting quite stable these days.
I would be in the market for more esoteric USB-C adapters, such as a simple USB-C -> USB-C + USB-A hub (that retain PD and DP Alt). Or something that injects DP Alt signals from a separate video output. I might need to design these myself, though.

It sounds like the Deck would be more than up to standing in for a laptop if I'm travelling and still do what I need from those, which would cut what I need to carry by a good bit. Thanks again!
