That’s the default mode, you have to manually toggle a setting before it will do it on battery.
- Comment on Steam Deck - Display-Off Downloads - Steam News 3 days ago:
The steamOS UI uses a decent bit of power by itself, but that power drain goes away completely once you’re in game (you can get much better power life in low power games like Stardew than you can on the steam library screen for example).
I’m guessing this turns off the UI while downloading, which should drop power usage a fair bit. However downloading itself can be quite power consuming, so there’s definitely going to be some drain still.

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 absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you’re not enjoying it much.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - November 2025 1 week ago:
I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven’t fully settled into what to play next. I think I’ll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.

- Comment on Have you guys noticed an increase in how much the fans run in the last month or so? 1 week ago:
Mostly Trails in the Sky First Chapter. It is possible that I just reached more demanding parts of the game, although the power usage have really changed.
Anyways it’s hard to say for sure, just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed something similar.

- Comment on The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout 1 week ago:
If you look at the 3d render, it has a dpad and the usual abxy buttons. I’m pretty sure the 2d icon is just meant to be recognizable without all the buttons/details.
- Comment on Recommend Battery Packs? 1 week ago:
I have a Baseus 65w one, it can fully match the deck’s max charging rate of 45w and is pretty nice. It also can show what voltage and amperage it’s charging at, which is nice for identifying if something is fast charging or not.
Unfortunately it looks like it’s not for sale anymore, which makes me concerned that it might have the same battery cell safety hazard that forced Anker to issue a recall.
- Comment on Recommend Battery Packs? 1 week ago:
They have battery packs that can charge the deck at full speed, mine goes up to 65w output which is plenty to max out the deck’s 45w max. I can even use it for a dock with accessories.

- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times 1 week ago:
Here’s another video on it that goes more in depth: youtu.be/CJXp3UYj50Q
Basically the SteamOS version gets better fps in most games while also have way better battery life. Lower power games would get 2x the battery life when fps when both versions were targeting the same settings/fps.
Basically windows naturally has more overhead than Linux, which really impacts performance/battery life in low power games. But vulkan also typically outperforms directX, so many directX see a noticable performance increase on SteamOS as well (although some amount of this performance gain can be had on windows as well by using dxvk).

Good catch, results didn’t seem suspicious because Linux has had major performance improvements over windows on previous handhelds.

- Comment on Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update. 3 weeks ago:
I’m trying to look for it, but having trouble finding it.
I vaguely want to say that it was also maybe related to having pending downloads. It was like if you were playing a non-steam game, the sleep process would trigger the deck to start downloading again, interrupting the sleep. Once sleep was interrupted the game would start running again and downloads would be paused, making it seem like the deck failed to sleep for no reason. If you didn’t have any downloads pending, the deck would go to sleep fine even in a 3rd party game. Unfortunately the deck frequently has a couple mini-updates available whenever you close a game, so this bug happened pretty often.
- Comment on Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update. 3 weeks ago:
Right, I just know the past issue with sleep failing would happen like 75% of the time with non-steam games, but almost never with steam games. Not sure what the cause was, but I had to wait 5-10 seconds after putting the deck to sleep to see if it would wake back up.

- Comment on Plugging in my steam deck dock to my steam deck, then putting a mechanical keyboard makes the whole dock turn off?????? 3 weeks ago:
As others have said, it’s probably that the deck +keyboard is taking too much power, so it’s powering off your keyboard. I use a 65w charger for my dock so that there’s extra power available.
- Comment on Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update. 3 weeks ago:
Is it happening in all games? There was a similar bug in the past, but it primarily affected non-steam games for whatever reason.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - October 2025 3 weeks ago:
The main update for BG3 recently was adding a native Linux build to improve performance. If your performance got worse instead, you can revert to running the windows version instead. Go to steam game properties>compatibility>force a compatibility layer, and pick a proton version.
- Comment on Deckyloader help 3 weeks ago:
Definitely not normal. You may need to reboot or restart the steam client.
You can also check the homebrew/plugins folder in the Deck’s home folder. It should have a folder for every plugin. If newly installed plugins don’t show up there, then they’re not actually installing for some reason.

I like your characterization of Doom Eternal as a nice relaxing game for when you need a break.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - October 2025 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it is priced kinda high. Especially since most people will want the bundle with DLC characters (Minecraft and SpongeBob characters officially confirmed, supposedly getting Avatar the last air bender, TMNT, Amogus, and others as well)

I’m bouncing between several games right now:
-
Trails in the Sky First Chapter - the trails series is one I’ve always wanted to get into, so the recent remake of the first game seemed like a great place to start. Runs great on deck. Unfortunately they’re trying a new publisher (Gung-ho) for this version of the game, and they didn’t discount the game for regional pricing making it too expensive for many countries. Russia was one of the only countries with typical regional pricing, but after people pointed that out, Gung-ho decided to remove it from same in Russia rather than adjust pricing elsewhere. It’s a great game from a great developer, and it feels like some controversy over the publisher’s handling of the game is greatly hurting how it performs. It has a pretty lengthy (~10 hours) demo to try, if you’re interested.
-
Sonic Racing Crossworlds - MKW was kinda disappointing (and also not on the Deck). Crosswords has been really fun actually and is scratching that itch. Runs really well on the deck, the only negative is it requires Internet when first launched (after that initial check you can go offline and still play single player or split screen multiplayer though).
-
Cloverpit - this is from the same devs as Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, which is why I picked it up. It’s basically slot machine Balatro, with a horror theme (you’re locked in a room, have to earn money through gambling to make deadline amounts, miss the deadline and the floor opens dropping you to your death). Apparently the launch has been very successful (300k copies sold in 3 days), with a lot of YouTubers covering it.
