GameDev on Steam Deck

I've got the 64GB og steam deck, After almost a year of using it i had to start using the deck as a development machine as well not just for gaming. I wasn't sure how it would pan out, theoretically everything should be possible but i had couple of major blockers .. I was running out of internal storage I needed to make sure that the engines i use work on SD. Cocos Creator (Windows / Mac) Godot Engine (Windows / Mac / Linux) Unreal Engine (Windows / Mac / Linux) Unity Engine (Windows / Mac / Linux??) The Internal Storage: Since this was a 64 GB version, i kept running into the disk space issues, i had to take the leap and upgrade the ssd. Fortunately i was able to find one on amazon which decently priced. I followed the IFixit's guide to upgrade the ssd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSvdsic4_dk This was crucial if i wanted to use the deck without thinking too much about what i was going to install on OS. So if you are like me and are really afraid of breaking something
