So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it be a toggle? So that you can change whetewer this usb( or device ) is reciving data ot sending data .

Not sure if that'll work for SteamDeck-to-LinuxPC connection, but I'm certain that works for SteamDeck-to-Android.
It is using USB gadgets, so it's worth a shot at least.

I've used it about 2 months ago with Linux-to-Deck, back then it worked flawlessly. I don't have my deck on hand rn, but I will test it when I get back.

It's should definitely work then. MTP usually doesn't leverage USB Gadget, but this one seems to.

The mobile device / "mtp Server" requires the gadget mode as far as I know. The PC /client does not need it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
