The official dock has been fine for me on both an LCD 1st batch model and a late 2024 OLED model, plugged in 100% of the time. What dock are you using? There’s a lot of bad docks out there, from a compatibility standpoint.

Another thing to try is a full factory reset. Make sure your game saves are backed up in steam cloud and move as many games to the SD card or temporary drive as you can to make it easier to get back up and running.

The steam deck gboperator is brilliant!

Circuit superstars is the only modern game that captured the fun feeling of top down racing that the original Generally had for me when I was growing up. Definitely a +1 recommendation!

I’ve been feeling for a while now that Nvidia’s more recent approaches to open source drivers has been encouraged by their background talks with Valve, getting pressured by such a wildly successful new device.

They promised a generic release (no date) when steam deck was first revealed lol. Typical valve time but I know they’ll deliver a decent starting experience. They’ve leaned a lot and improved the steam deck software a lot too.

Still waiting for official steamOS 3.x generic installer.

My biggest concern with SteamDeck was that it would become a 1-2 year upgrade cycle device. I don’t expect the hardware to last 7+ years like normal console lifecycles but I’m very glad to hear they’re being patient and aggressively supporting the software side.

Unfortunately they stop caring after the child is born.

Still waiting for the latest steamOS iso to put in my desktop… switched to endeavourOS in preparation so I get used to the arch experience. Still eager to check it out when it does eventually release but this system has been fantastic for gaming.
