  Yes, it works in gamemode. You might want to also get the Decky loader plugin that lets you control KDE Connect is enabled from gamemode though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks to Nixpkgs I’ve not had to worry about programs, but I sometimes miss having quicker access to DE and driver level stuff.

  Does Bazzite have KDE 6 and fresher Bluez setup on the Deck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I also use it as a regular old PC. I work from home (design, illustration), and do all of it on a Deck plugged into a dock.

  Eternally thankful this isn’t a rerun of the translucent black edition. I too got my first OLED delivered last week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS 3.6.20 Stable Update⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was hoping the regression introduced in 3.6.19 where the bluetooth earbuds I could connect to just fine before but now only worked once until I reboot the Deck was addressed. But alas…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] SteamOS 3.6 is nearly here, with Valve focusing on bug fixes before release. What are some bugs you've encountered (on either Stable or Beta) that you're hoping to see fixed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want some updated stacks: Bluetooth especially.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YONO soft case - carry case compatible?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t directly answer the question, as I don’t use one. But I would like to mention that I put on a pair of joystick caps which are frankly pretty thin layers of silicon all things considered, and now the Deck won’t fit inside the case unless I firmly close hold it closed and then pull the zipper.

  The case is designed to fit it very snugly, it would seem! But third-party based usually have more give inside for covers and joystick caps etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What have you been playing lately?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much just Zenless Done Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.

  And a bit of Terraria with the boys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hori Announces Controller Made Specifically for Steam⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, the four horse-controllers of the apocalypse — Xbox, PlayStation, Gamecube, and Mountain Dew

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you use the back buttons for?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Often as a lazier way to press the face buttons for slow games. But also custom turbo patterns for fast games. E.g.:

  • In Genshin Impact, the back buttons are all face buttons, but with select ones set to turbo for automatic item pickup, or dialog skipping, etc.
    • Also very comfy to use them while swimming
  • In Hades II:
    • L/R4 are the two shoulder buttons for comfier portal/character interaction
    • L/R5 do autoattack and aurospecial on turbo
  • In Valheim, one lets me Dodge with a single button press instead of the chord the game demands you use
  • In Balatro
    • L/R4 switches hand sorting modes, which has no in-game shortcuts, still
    • L5 restarts a run on long press
    • R5 quits to main menu and resumes with a multi button sequence, to "soft reset"
  • In Tabletop Simulator, the most common actions like clicking, selecting, flipping a card, and drawing, are all mapped to the back buttons for ergonomics, freeing face/shoulder buttons for more advanced stuff

  But but my dynamic tiling 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Solution To Web Browsing (in Qutebrowser) And Text Input Without Touchscreen Keyboard Or Mouse (piggybacking on Vim keybindings)⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I too would like to test out this control scheme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SN30 Pro+ connection issues⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great news!

  Don’t have any Windows PCs nearby, so… 🤞🚫🧱

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Steam Families⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With cooldowns for abuse prevention now on the table, I wish Valve will consider adding something like a “day pass” for Steam friends where they can share their libraries—or perhaps specific games—for a short duration to someone they know without having to adopt them.

  With cooldowns they would find appropriate, of course. And I hope that isn’t a whole year…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SN30 Pro+ connection issues⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless something has changed since I bought it, the Pro+ can still only be flashed on Windows, at least officially. But the Pro 2 can be flashed on the Android app. Typical, eh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SN30 Pro+ connection issues⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this why I have to wait upwards of 5 minutes to be able to actually use my SN30 Pro+ even after it’s connected? I’ve only ever tried this docked, will try undocked today.

  In my case, I just assumed it’s Steam taking it’s time to realize the external container takes precedence. After three few minutes of waiting it works just fine, and the UI instantly switches between XBox/Nintendo layouts and the Deck controller’s layout when I press buttons on either device.

  I have also done this while in desktop mode, and while the system starts registering the controller events as soon as it connects, Big Picture still takes its sweet time, and by extension using the controller to control the desktop does too.
