This may not be a revolutionary feature for me, but this addresses one of the biggest gripes I have had with the Steam Deck since release.

Is it possible to make it to only activate when plugged in?

That’s the default, if I understood this correctly. But I haven’t tried it yet.

This might, just might, make me take part in installing a beta update.

I’ve been on beta for years with no issues, if that helps.

Wonder if they’ll also add an option to wake up periodically to enter this mode when plugged in.
Would be nice for the Steam Deck connected to the dock and making sure updates are applied while at work…

I’ll take it!
Next i hope they let the damn thing remember wifi passwords after restarts. It seems to have been doing that more recently, which makes me hope for it to eventually treat WiFi like a phone or laptop or tablet etc doesTheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 7 hours ago
I’ve had two release day LCD and a release day OLED. None of them have ever forgotten their WiFi password running the stable OS release.

I’ve had it act like it forgot the WiFi password, but I think it was just a connection issue. I think I just backed out without entering anything and tried reconnecting, and it reconnected fine with the stored password.

I do wonder how low-power it is. Like is it just low power because the screen is off, or are some part of SteamOS shutting down as well to save power.
