Comment on [PSA] If you had switched to the main update channel to get 3.5 early, I would recommend changing back one of the less bleeding edge update channels.

Sorry, I think I misled you. The “main” channel is the most bleeding edge update channel name. After that you have beta-candidate, beta, stable candidate, and stable. 3.6 is live on the “main” channel only, so it definitely shouldn’t affect regular steamOS users.

I haven’t touched my steam deck in a month or 2. Is there a process for switching back? Just ignore the pending update, switch the channel, then check for updates again?

  Yes, you just pick a different update channel, check for updates, and it will let you rollback to an older update.
  
  There can be problems though, one time I updated and it wouldn’t let me downgrade. I had to wait until the next update fixed it before I could downgrade. And this time when 3.6 broke part of my desktop mode, downgrading didn’t fix it and I had to do a lot more troubleshooting to get it going again.

    Gotcha. I dont forsee a problem since my current 3.5 version is probably older than the version on the beta-candidate channel.

    @Fubarberry That's a bold strategy, cotton. Let see if it pays off.
