Dual-boot Steam Deck with Ubuntu 24.04 and Windows

The hardware

I’ve always been a fan of handheld form factor. In the 2000s, Sony’s VAIO UX and Fujitsu Lifebook U were my dream gadget, but the hefty price tag were very out of reach for a college student.

Now, the Steam Deck is a gaming PC that fits in the palm of your hand, A 7″ 15W TDP AMD APU that goes for 3-12 hours battery life, depending on usage – it is just too good to be true for my younger self who is still stuck in 2000.

When I started my freelancer career a decade ago, AppServ was my development environment. It is essentially an one-click setup WAMP. I run WordPress, xtCommerce, MediaWiki, and lots of other popular packages. Time flies, people changed, things changed. And the time to upgrade my old server has come.
