Steam updates from Discovery store.

I'm getting a notification for a update, even though my client says it's up to date. Is it safe to update Steam through the discovery store on Deck? I've always thought it was meant for non-deck kde platforms. I've always thought Deck uses it's own custom version of Steam. Steam is showing it's installed through Discovery, now I'm concerned about running the wrong version....

Low Build Quality?

Has anyone had a SteamDeck that has functioned perfectly, with no breakdowns at all for years? I've had mine for a few years, I only use it lightly (<5 hours or so a week on low tier games that don't put strain on it) and I had an issue with button functionality not working properly, that required it to be returned and repaired and now the power button is not working properly. Have to keep pressing and hoping it goes on and off, and sometimes it appears off but the black screen is obviously still powered...

Steam Deck LAN Party Ruined by Controller Confusion

I have two Steam Decks, both recently updated. When I connect a Bluetooth controller to either device to play a game, it works throughout "Big Picture" mode and in the game menus. However, as soon as I "load in" to the actual game, it seems like the Steam Deck can't decide whether to use the Bluetooth controller or the built-in controls. This results in the Bluetooth controller not working for movement, sometimes forcing me to use the built-in controls—and in some cases, neither controller works at all w...

Setting a button press to Ctrl, then adding two extra commands to it, one for Alt & one for Delete but it's not working. I have tried different possibilities of Add extra command and Add Sub command. I have also played around with t...

Steam deck overheat

I recently got a Steam Deck, and not long ago I downloaded the Witcher 3 game on my Steam Deck. When playing the Witcher 3 game on the Steam Deck, I set the TDP Limit to 15 Watts, and the Manual GPU Clock to 1600mhz, I thought it could improve performance, but when playing for quite a long time, the FPS dropped significantly and the movement became choppy and once the game became unplayable, only the sound appeared but it could not be moved, I had to close the game manually by pressing the steam button the...
