- Comment on There is now a Decky Plugin to use Lossless frame gen on Steam Deck 5 hours ago:
It depends on the game, framegen techs, and your base fps.
It can be a great way to squeeze more performance out of a game in some circumstances, but it’s a big problem when games like MH:Wilds rely on it to meet an acceptable fps at all.
- Comment on There is now a Decky Plugin to use Lossless frame gen on Steam Deck 5 hours ago:
Different framegen techs have different requirements. Some like DLSS and the newer FSR require specific GPU hardware, some require being built into the game specifically. Lossless is great because it works on most hardware and most games. It
My understanding here is that it’s working as part of the Vulkan pipeline, but I don’t have enough knowledge in that area to answer more accurately than that.

Would have never expected that, I’m glad I came back to this thread to see if you had made any progress. Searching online about that, sounds like it’s actually a somewhat common issue (that I had never heard of before now). Basically the advice is to try a better quality hdmi cable, swap to 5ghz wifi (which is less likely to get interference from this than 2.4Ghz), route the hdmi cable different to have more space between it and the deck, or add ferrite cores around the ends of the hdmi cable.

That thread was mostly people saying it was too laggy over USB methods (capture card etc) or that the only solutions are windows only apps.
This video from that thread shows the capture card method:
- Comment on [QUICK QUESTION] Steam Deck Mirroring on my Android Tab with cable 2 days ago:
Most of the external portable screen projects I’ve seen for the deck use devices that can directly receive video over usb-c, like XR glasses or portable screens. I don’t know of a good way to convert video over usb-c (or hdmi from a dock) into something that your Android tablet can receive and play.
The easiest thing to try next would be to install Sunshine on your deck, and Moonlight on your tablet. It will still streamed over wifi, but a lot of people get better stream quality/less lag than with steam streaming.
- Comment on lsfg-vk aims to bring Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation to Linux 3 days ago:
Right, but the actual build/install instructions provided on the github probably won’t work as provided because of the build tools needed and the locked file system.
- Comment on Networking issues (desktop mode) 3 days ago:
I would recommend disabling wifi battery optimization. I know you can do it from settings in game mode, I’m guessing there may also be a KDE setting for it.

Here’s the installation instructions, although the build instructions are not going to work on Steam Deck by default due to it’s locked file system. I’ll probably try it on my desktop later and see if I can get it to work.
Ideally I think this project could later be installed through a decky plugin, similar to decky framegen.
- Comment on What is your favorite Steam deck Bluetooth keyboard? 6 days ago:
They don’t sell it anymore, but I use this super cheap tablet one, which only cost me $6.88.
It’s about the exact same length as the deck, and it has a flip out tablet stand that perfectly supports the steam deck.
I’m sure it’s not as nice as a lot of the keyboards mentioned in this thread, but it’s been perfect for me.
- Comment on Anyone else get this? 1 week ago:
Sounds really weird. Do you have any deck plugins installed? Does it happen when browsing steamOS menus/desktop mode?
- Comment on Does the charge limit actually work? 1 week ago:
I had some issues with this when it first came out, but I had previously capped the max charge through power tools. I figured the issues might have been from the two settings interfering with each other.

- Comment on Meta’s “AI superintelligence” effort sounds just like its failed “metaverse” 1 week ago:
The tech industry is all about growth. For better or worse facebook has basically grown to it’s max size, and it’s unrealistic to expect any significant growth there. Zuck is trying to sell investors and shareholders on the idea that Meta is going to be at the center of the next massive thing. Some years ago he thought it was going to be VR, and it’s completely unsurprising that he now thinks it’s going to be AI (unsurprising because every other tech company thinks the same thing).
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 1 week ago:
It sounds like back paddles will be treated as separate inputs, I found where some people got to try out beta firmware for some of the 8bitdo controllers some months back, and that was specifically mentioned as some of the new functionality.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 1 week ago:
That’s usually ok if you’re not using fsr, but for the deck I personally recommend capping the external display resolution at 1080p.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 1 week ago:
Recent updates have caused some crashes actually when docking to my TV, but I’m on beta OS updates and have a lot of deck plugins, so it might not be affecting other people.
Other than that docked play is pretty good in my experience. There’s a major performance hit if you have upscaling set to use fsr though, especially on 4k monitors.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 1 week ago:
I only use controllers when docked personally

On the deck I use them all the time. For FPS games I frequently bind them to be ABXY, lets you jump/reload/etc without having to take your thumb off of the joystick. Absolutely mandatory for games like Doom Eternal and Deep Rock in my opinion.
In games with heavy dpad use for cycling abilities/items (like Elden Ring) I usually use them for that. Being able to cycle spells or potions while running is very necessary sometimes. You can also use them in combination with mode shift settings, things like while I hold R4 down it will temporarily turn my ABXY into a second DPAD.
You can use them for steamOS features, stuff like opening keyboard or toggling zoom for games with small text.
A lot of people dislike clicking thumbsticks, so it’s common for people to use them for that. L4 to toggle sprint instead of L3 is very popular for example. Also nice for when L3/R3 do something you don’t want to trigger accidentally during combat (Ys 8 and 9 toggle a minimap overlay with L3, which is very distracting during combat. So I’ve disabled L3 on the thumbstick and instead have L4 open the minimap overlay).
In any PC game with more inputs it can be great for common button presses that didn’t make the cut onto the standard controller. Things like map/journal shortcuts, quick save, etc. Setting left trackpad to a touch menu is also great for this.
Overall they’re pretty great, I don’t use them in every game, but there are a lot of games I refuse to play on a standard controller without them.

- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your Deck? - July 2025 1 week ago:
I need to play it still, I have it in my library from some bundle, but there’s always been something more pressing that I wanted to play. It doesn’t look like the kind of game I normally would enjoy, but I’ve heard so many good things about it that I know I need to try it sooner or later.

That’s human nature. People are complicated, and everyone has negative and positive aspects to them (granted some have mostly negative or mostly positive traits). It’s a lot easier to have a black and white opinion on people, either you really like someone or you really don’t like someone. When dealing with thousands of famous people that you don’t know, simplifying your opinion on them to a black and white opinion is a shortcut we take to keep from getting overwhelmed.

Linux has had a major increase in usership lately if I recall right, and supposedly windows has lost a major number of users (although mostly people dropping desktops for just phones).
No idea if PewDiePie contributed or not.

I hope so, I know I’ve run into issues before with streaming from a server with no available monitors, so I’m hoping this will fix that.
