Is anyone using deck as PC ? Opening Firefox seems very detrimental. Running top shows CPU uses almost/beyond 100%. Generally for 2 processes Firefox and Isolated Web Co. Is there some kind of workaround? Or would it be better to just install normal Linux (instead of SteamOS)?

I use my steam deck for work sometimes.

I log in my work site, export order lists to office cal, import them to my vendor sitesostly.

I have had no problem running MS Edge (sincey logins), Office Libre works fine, mouse, keyboard, and second monitor work fine with no slowdown for me.

The only thing I can't get working is printing otherwise I can scrap my older office PC
