Comment on [Deck] Does Decky Load break with Steam update?

Use Stable Steam. Before any version update I disable SteamGridDB, as this one is prone to breaking.
I stopped using CSS loader since we have Big Art Mode as an option now, which also caused crashes on occasion.
You could add the Decky installer package (might be the wrong word here) to Steam from Desktop mode to run a reinstall without going to Desktop mode for convenience. Or more future-proofed, use this.

I’m mainly interested into showing the ProtonDB rating. But I don’t want to use Stable Steam.

Just a heads up, LSFG-VK combined with PowerTools can give you a major FPS boost in a bunch of games making them enjoyable not just playable. IMO must haves on the deck.

I’ve had issues with that plug in before. During 3.6 I want to say.
Up to you.
If an update to SteamOS does bork your system, you can always roll back.

Otherwise, happy tinkering. I recommend MicroSDeck if you have multiple SD cards you swap between too.
And Decky Localsend, so you can transfer files without going out of game mode.

I actually have a different way of handling file transfer. I use my filemanager with SSH to directly access files like they would be local.
As for an update to bork the system, I’m not that concerned about it. I am one of the pre-orders and it never borked for me. But good to know that in such a case there is a solution. My only concern with Decky Loader is just that it breaks with frequent updates. It’s unfortunate.

9 times out of ten rerunning the installer and selecting repair for Decky fixes it.
The other time it broke was due to SteamGrid crashing whenever I would hover over the Decky icon after hitting thr QAM.
