Maybe this short Anker cable solved the problem. It’s a Mophie universal power station. Claims to do 45w output. Before, when booting, it would say that.
Don’t remember which Anker cable. Pretty sure I gave somebody money to buy it, I have no prime.
Guess I didn’t test it much after I got the cable, probably cause I went to funny farm.
Cool, it only needed a new short cable. No PD converter crap.
Installed Sunshine on desktop, so now I can sit on loveseat all day.
It might be this one.
According to the docs, it only needs 3A, unless you use a bunch of power hungry USB devices. Apparently the screen, and the receiver for keyboard doesn’t use much power.
And that Mophie battery won’t power it all day. Also, why does DietPi recommend 300 for the minimum frequency for the CPU, but set it to 1500 by default?
I changed it to 300.
Changed the fan settings too. If I put my ear close enough, I can hear it now. The fan on AC is too loud.
Best feature of Sunshine, is having to wake monitor up to use it. I disabled the turning off of the TV on the Steam Deck.
But won’t do that on my desktop.
Instead I get to ssh into it and run kscreen-doctor –dpms on.
Setting that as a command on the Steam Deck didn’t work, so didn’t try on desktop. Think it can use a virtual display, without assigning a EDID to one of the ports. But I’m too lazy to go on desktop. Easier to run that command over ssh.
The battery is charging. I’ll just use AC adapter at home. I have a big power station, that could power it longer.
Need a bigger screen. And a bigger box. Want to keep this screen too. Not sure how big of a screen I need either.
Can’t post my fan settings, copy and paste doesn’t work with Moonlight apparently.
And DuckDucKGo, doesn’t have a clue what I was searching for. Search engines keep getting smarter and smarter.
I think using SSH, I could open Wayland apps. But too lazy to remember anything.
