i've been doing some hobby programming on a steam deck for the last ~week. (since i got the steam deck). it's got a variant of arch linux pre-installed and it's x86_64, so a lot of those steps are covered

might have to try it with AR glasses. but, the screen is bright enough that it's usable outdoors anyway

i've been using copilot with voice input, with a bit of on-screen keyboard usage when it's not cooperating. i'm mostly giving it fairly simple edit instructions ("write a for loop at line 50"), rather than full on vibe coding, and it's working much better than i expected

i'm not using emacs/vim, because the steam keyboard doesn't have a ctrl key, and i have to use a less ergonomic kde on-screen keyboard to push it (and i'm a heathen that prefers vscode anyway)
