  I believe Steam Deck officially supports only Micro SD cards. I used one for about six months and had no issues.

  Same here. It started happening after SteamOS 3.7 update. People say Decky Recorder plugin from Decky Loader works well, but I didn’t bother to try myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative OS?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t SteamOS satisfy that requirement? What do you dislike about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative OS?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Deck is just a computer. You can install any other Linux distro. Or Windows, if you are into that.

  That’s very unfortunate. However, I’d like mention a few things about attempting a self-repair:

  • You don’t need a heat gun to disassemble it. A simple Philips head screwdriver will do.
  • Batteries are dangerous regardless of their charge. You should be careful handling them even when they are fully discharged.

  While SteamOS is open-source and everyone can build one for themselves, it is only officially supported on Steam Deck. They promised to release a generic version of it targeting more devices in the past, and this post hints that that day is closer.
