@everyone The Music Control plugin is delisted and should be uninstalled as it causes Steam BPM to “bootloop” in newer versions of Decky Loader such as the current pre-releases of 3.X.X. We also have users experiencing the same issue without that plugin installed so I would recommend manually deleting one plugin at a time to see which plugin is effecting you. You will need to delete any effected plugin(s) from
~/homebrew/plugins/(You will need to use sudo to delete the files, suggest using konsole and usingsudo rm -r /path/to/plugin). Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Semicolon on a USB keyboard connected to your deck should allow you to bypass the “bootloops” and delete the plugin. Best place for discussion is <#960284126701813770>. Best of luck!
Additionally the Decky recorder plugin can prevent you from being able to use desktop mode, just giving you a black screen instead (funnily enough having steam recording turned on can do the same thing), so it’s also recommended to be uninstalled.

This is the second plug-in I’ve read about in the last two weeks that causes major system crashes on the Steam Deck. Why are these little add on tools breaking the whole OS? That’s nuts.

They’re mostly breaking the GUI of game mode, which causes it to restart the game mode GUI. The underlying OS isn’t really affected – you should be able to SSH into an affected system or force boot into desktop mode.

The jackbox megapicker issue was apparently corrupting decks bad enough that you had to reinstall SteamOS through a recovery drive to fix it. Thankfully the decky plugin issue is much less serious.
