Ha jokes on you, as now my pc is broken I even use linux steam deck env as my main pc. Power of having linux on a cheap small device, albeit locked system files make some advanced setups a headache. But hey it runs all the good IDEs and Godot, with bluetooth keyboard & mouse I can code ez.

You could install something like CachyOS Handheld Edition. It still has SteamOS' game mode but also comes with pacman and paru.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll stick with existing setup for now. The thing I'm most annoyed about is that linux uses ctrl shortcut space for all editing stuff, and I'm used to macos cmd space. I've swapped cmd & ctrl in the settings, and it's mostly fine, except emacs not having separate meta/hyper/super keys. And it's not respecting system-wide cmd+c cmd+v, cause it's now ctrl.

I guess I can live without emacs for now.
