  I see, and yes, you needed some technical savvyness (is that a word?) to do this on your own before

    “Savvy” is both the noun for the trait and the adjective for someone who possesses it.

  What’s been janky about it? I have it installed on a custom build since like February, never had any hiccups, besides the same rare issues on my steam deck (some occasional sound issues when switching between desktop and game mode, recently now solved I think). It’s otherwise been a flawless experience. Config is pure AMD : 5800X + 7600 XT 16GB with 16GB RAM. I was just hoping to get a steam controller but that proved harder than expected :(

    I think some hardware configs are harder to use, like if you have Nvidia.

      Sure, but that has not changed with this official enablement, or has it?

        Have they not improved driver support as part of this?
