- Comment on How do you download your game on SD OLED? 4 months ago:
I’d assume it won’t, you can always just test it out though. There might be some setting for those timeouts in the Steam-steamdeck settings.
- Comment on How do you download your game on SD OLED? 4 months ago:
I haven’t done this myself, but I assume you can turn off the display in Desktop Mode. I assume somewhere in the “normal” Linux settings there will be the usual Turn Screen Off after … and Go To Sleep after … You could just set the screen to turn off after 5 mins, then set sleep to never and that should do it.

Check my edited comment, I’m pretty certain my limit was wrong.
- Comment on [Discussion] Double discussion this month, what games did you buy for your Deck during the Steam Sale, and what are you playing on Deck right now? - July 2024 4 months ago:
- Bloons TD 6: this plays great on the deck, especially with the touchscreen
- Euro Truck Simulator 2: mostly just got it as it was super cheap and I saw some of my friends already have it
- Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy: looked super fun when I saw my friends play, but I don’t really like the controls on the deck
For anyone looking for some other nice games for the deck, I can heavily recommend:
- Stray
- Dave The Diver
- Celeste

I got Euro Truck Simulator aswell, for the same reason lol
- Comment on Steam deck triple monitor setup with the official dock 4 months ago:
I assume the tablet gets its video through standard HDMI/DP over USB-C, hence a USB-A to C adapter wouldn’t work.
If you still want to use the tablet with the official dock, there may be HDMI+USB -> USB-C adapters capable of inserting the HDMI signal into the USB-C connection. I’m not too knowledgeable on this topic, so you may want to resort to some more research of your own.
Also keep in mind (as far as I’m aware) there’s a hard limit on 2 external monitors, unless you use some “trickery” like DisplayLink.
- Comment on Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? 4 months ago:
Hm there must be some other problem on your end then. Doing a clean reinstall of Yuzu EA 4176 and then using the newest keys, firmware and update for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should pretty certainly fix it.
It runs great for me on Steamdeck, with the Yuzu EA 4176 AppImage, firmware/keys version 18.0.0, MK8 Deluxe NSP + Update 3.0.1 + DLC.
- Comment on Steam deck for a TV party game emulation machine? 4 months ago:
The latest yuzu version has a bug with Mariokart multiplayer (I believe this is the one that you’re referencing). It can easily be avoided by pressing L+R on the first screen with any controller that isn’t Player 1.
- Comment on Best deck games for a flight? (as in...possibly running on batteries) 7 months ago:
Here’s a similar question, my answer should also be relevant to your question.
As for Switch emulation, yuzu still runs great, with many playable games on the deck. If you don’t have the AppImage or Flatpak already, make sure to get it from a reputable source.
- Comment on Potential Super Cheap Charger - Ikea SJOSS 7 months ago:
Although it probably doesn’t matter in this case, it’s worth noting that your hub/dock and all connected accessories use power from your charger too. For example my laptop reports my 65w charger as 45w with my USB-C dock in between.
In your case this could mean your deck only getting 30W, which would be fine for less demanding games, but with a full load could mean barely charging / not charging at all.
- Comment on [Discussion] Some good budget wireless controller for the Deck?? 7 months ago:
I use Dual Shock 4s for all my PC gaming. They have all the features you’d expect, work with most apps and games (and there’s DS4Windows for the rest), the bluetooth makes them great not only for something like the SteamDeck but also my phone, a friends iPad, …
And the best thing is I can pick one up used for around 20€.
- Comment on Which steam deck 8 months ago:
I believe the OLED screen is thinner, so they had more space for the battery. And then they also improved the efficiency of the SoC.
- Comment on Which steam deck 8 months ago:
Another big factor with the OLED deck is that it gets significantly more battery life. Especially in less demanding games, you can get 2x or even 3x the battery life of the LCD version (cries in LCD deck).
As for storage size, if you’re comfortable replacing the internal M.2 SSD, I believe you can save a bit of money there by buying the smallest size model (+ you get a bonus smaller SSD which can be nice for some projects). There is an ifixit guide for it.
If you’re not up for that and still want to save money, the micro SD card support is supposed to really good and practically indistinguishable from the internal SSD from what I’ve heard, but I haven’t yet tried it myself.
- Comment on [Discussion] EmuDeck - Yuzu Citra, So what now? 8 months ago:
As they said (at least on their Discord server), EmuDeck won’t be deleting your yuzu.
Now that yuzu is dead anyway, I went ahead and replaced my mainline build with the latest early access build from Pineapple EA (afaik the repo is just some guy who compiled yuzu whenever there was a new early access build or something like that).
If you want to do that too, the AppImage should be in
/home/deck/Applications, you just have to make sure the new one has the exact same name as the old one and that the new one is executable. Or you could also backup the yuzu AppImage from there if you’re paranoid. - Comment on Favorite games for traveling? 8 months ago:

- Comment on Outside of gaming, how do you guys use your Steam Deck? 8 months ago:
I use an app called FreeTube, I believe it uses Piped in some way and integrates SponsorBlock and DeArrow. You can install it through Discover and then add it to your Steam Library and use it in game mode (and the Web browser Steam Input config).
- Comment on Favorite games for traveling? 8 months ago:
I really enjoyed Dave the Diver on my deck, I’m only 9h in but didn’t play for a while due to lack of time.
Another one that isn’t really my thing but uses practically no battery is Minecraft through PrismLauncher (I don’t like playing Minecraft on controller).
And some other games from my library that play nicely on deck, some might take a little bit more power:
- Celeste
- Geometry Dash (especially with the new platformer levels)
- Hue (might be a bit boring, I got it for free)
- Pole (might be a bit frustrating, I got it for free)
- Rayman Legends (there’s a certain patch to make it run without uplay)
- Stardew Valley
- Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
- Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
- Undertale
- Comment on Jellyin app on steam deck allows screen to dim 9 months ago:
I have the same issue, also no idea how to fix it.
I did recently discover that touching the joysticks or trackpads is enough to un-dimm the screen again, you don’t have to press any buttons and make all the UI elements pop up again.
