Comment on Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner?

I think it would be much less hassle for you to install another OS instead of SteamOS. Like Bazzite. You should be able to configure that to your liking more easily.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll consider it long-term, but want to stick with SteamOS for now. I gave a more detailed reply to a different comment if you’re interested in reading it.

Wanted to suggest the same thing.

Bazzite is immutable tho, unless I’m mistaken, so if you’d rather use a mutable distro you can look into CachyOS or DraugrOS.

  Bazzite will present a similar experience to SteamOS. They’re both immutable/atomic in the same way, but Bazzite has the ability to persist some system changes via package layering, and distrobox allows for installing packages in a semi-traditional way.
  
  But I agree, if you want a more standard Linux experience, CachyOS and others would be better.
