This would be great while on vacation.

    I actually could see myself get an iPad now.

    Sometimes I travel light and just bring my steam deck as a laptop. But for certain tasks and local multiplayer player games the screen is to small especially with it being a controller.

    Then prop up an ipad and suddenly I have a 10 inch(I don’t know the size) screen.

        Super Display only seem to work if you get windows and dual boot. Seems to be 0 Linux support because of hw acceleration. Bummer. Thanks for the tip though!

          Deskreen seems to do similar for Linux if mirroring a display. To do multi desktop it appears you need to have a virtual display adapter to make it work

      That and as a computing device, the iPad’s battery life is second to none. My high end laptop meant for graphics and GIS lasts maybe an hour on battery. The iPad lasts half a day if not more with straight use.

        Yeah exactly. I would not buy an external display as 80% of the time it would be useless.

        But an iPad I could actually use for other things then just screen mirror. Especially with that battery life.
