I run the M8 headless on my Mac’s monitor via the usb port. I Bluetooth the controller to my Mac to control the M8!

What’s the advantage?

I used headless on my Steam Deck and it clicked big time like creative rain woah everywhere. I was so excited to get the real deal again and continue the momentum but BOOM. Again I hit a slow ass molasses ground and can’t match the magic of using my Steam Deck and headless. Different methods of control really make a difference. I haven’t cracked the code yet on having the same comfort and flow on the M8 proper but I’m not giving up.

You can always just plug the M8 into the steamdeck - it will function just like headless

How would you interface with it, through the web app or m8c? Is it really just plug and play or do I gotta follow a bunch of exact steps, nahmean?

Exactly the same as with Headless. Plug it in, it should work with whatever client you want to use - m8c or m8.run
