• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the difference between OLED and LCD models really that big?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the OLED version has a more efficient CPU and fan resulting in a quieter fan noise
  if you only play with headphones or only play lesser graphical games like Slay the Spire or Brotato you probably barely would notice the difference though

  there is no shame in asking question especially if you already put in some effort yourself and mention what you already tried

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to add latte-dock to steam deck desktop mode?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a little heads up in case you didn’t knew:
  if you install packages like latte-dock from pacman (or build from source in this case) they will vanish with your next Steam Deck update because the Linux on the Steam Deck works quite different to a regular Linux installation

  I wouldn’t get so much hung up on latte-dock anyway since it is unmaintained since quite some time and doesn’t even work on the latest KDE Plasma 6 (which SteamOS doesn’t have yet but will come in the near future)
  customizing the default Plasma Panel (right click on desktop > enter edit mode > add panel) is your best bet nowadays for a similar look

  anyway if you are really dead set on latte dock you will need to “initialize” all public keys first from the Arch Linux and Steam developers until you actually can install anything on the package manager pacman

  pacman-key --init
  pacman-key --populate archlinux
  pacman-key --populate holo
  

  the last line is specific for SteamOS only

  This is the way

  you are right, on my linux pc I also use xone instead of bluetooth
  on the Steam Deck I just use another non-Xbox gamepad instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox PC USB Adapter still doesn't work on SteamOS 3.5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  xow isn’t supported anymore and already gives problems with newer libusb versions
  but xone (the sucessor of xow) will no longer work after a SteamOS update due to the immutable filesystem of the Steam Deck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox PC USB Adapter still doesn't work on SteamOS 3.5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  afaik xone (the kernel driver for the Xbox One dongle) still isn’t part of the linux kernel (neither mainline or steam deck kernel)

  since you can also connect the newer Xbox gamepads via bluetooth, it seems like not many people actually care about it
