I use it as my primary PC! It's such an awesome and stable Linux experience

I also use it as a regular old PC. I work from home (design, illustration), and do all of it on a Deck plugged into a dock.

I have it connected to my TV so I can stream sports.
Ah yes, "sports", I got ya ;)
I use it for 3D modeling using a BT keyboard and a drawing tablet. Works great with Blender and FreeCAD both.

I use it as a general purpose computer. I set up an encrypted home partition by more or less following this guide: https://github.com/hirak99/steam_deck_encryption. I have a bag that nicely fits the deck, charging cable, dock, and a 60% keyboard for travel.

I use a deck to control robots at a theme park.
I saw someone doing this and geeked out so hard. Such a cool use of the Deck.
Mine spends a lot of time docked to the television so I can torrent/stream things.
Though I have yet to get a Deck for myself, I'd probably use it a lot to read comics. Having used the Vita a lot for that, being able to control the comics with a physical controller was fantastic, and the far greater processing power of the Deck should also avoid pages taking a long while to load (loading Humble Bundle's ebooks in measly 512 MB of RAM is an experience).
