@Fubarberry I've started playing Cities:Skylines (the original one) again, and downloaded multiple mods from the Steam Workshop. It froze one day and I couldn't fix it in any way than to shut down my Deck. Every upgrades I did to that city were just gone.

That’s unfortunate, full system freezes like that are sometimes because you ran out of ram/VRAM. If that was what happened, the SteamOS Beta uses zram which should prevent this once the change makes it to stable. In the meantime you could use something like Cryoutilites to increase your swap file size, which should also prevent crashes like that.

@Fubarberry Thank you. This seems like it should be useful for my situation 😁 Do I need to go through the process of setting a root/sudo account for this?

So I had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of one-handed time on the couch. Played some Shapez 2 with a mouse on the couch via the deck, I played some the Witness (goofily with one hand on my xbox controller), some Slay the Spire, and some Stray
Been nice to have the ability to not sit at my computer when it was too uncomfortable

Slay the Spire is really nice for limited mobility. Turn based, point and click based. I like to play with one hand while I’m eating with the other.
