Mostly I play games or browse the web / watch videos - But I do all of this with a dock and mouse and keyboard.

I did not put the SteamDeck in BSM before installing the SSD. I think this should avoid the problems I had. The BSM is disabled when you plug in a charger or switch the deck on again, so there is no downside to this.

Yes, I skipped both of your options completely. Maybe this is the way to avoid this error.

Yeah, I couldn’t make sense of it either, but this worked like a charm and has worked for others. A friend of mine was having touch issues and was also told to put it in battery backup mode and that fixed it too.

I’ve found them to be very useful for games that require you to use the mouse a few times, and my God, the radial menu it can create is godlike. I also use it to activate the gyro.

Worked great for me. I’ve set the screen resolution to 800x500 in the steam game settings to force FSR. I’ve had some trouble at first because i left half rate shading on.

Upvote for KDEConnect. Works on my 2 Manjaro Installation and also it’s running on Mint with cinnamon without any problems.

The android app is also great for typing on the go :)

Just finished Jedi Fallen Order and now I’m again stuck to Hades and Brotato.

I’ve lend it to my girlfriend for an evening and she tried some “Weeb” games especially Atelier Ryza and ordered herself a Deck now to since it’s summer sale :)
