- Comment on Any desktop-mode tips for a new Steam Deck owner? 4 hours ago:
I haven’t looked into 1 but from my experience yes, 2 does wipe your changes with every OS update. Coming from another arch-based system it was my preference too but I learned the hard way. Yes it’s annoying but for an immutable distro like SteamOS it’s simpler to install via flatpak.
If you’re using desktop mode in handheld it does take a minute for the trackpads to work because it uses steaminput, and the Steam client needs to start separately in desktop mode. Touch works immediately.
Make sure to put your go-to file paths in Places (I think that’s what it’s called) because navigating Dolphin in handheld can also be mildly annoying.
If you’re using a customizer like DeckyLoader holding off on updates for a week or so until there’s confirmation of stability and compatibility is advisable, but that’s more for handheld mode.

Slowly rebuilding some of my Switch library on Steam (I prefer my Deck) so I picked up both Cattails games on sale (total of ~$9 atm!) and been replaying those. Very sweet, easy games for a quick dose of fun.

I think you mean “could”?
“Should” implies she deserves it, “could” means it’s a possibility.
- Comment on Steam Deck has hit a milestone with over 25,000 games rated Playable or Verified by Valve (7,518 Verified, 17,492 Playable), up from 20,000 in June 2025 4 months ago:
Hell yeah.
When in doubt, ProtonDB also has a “Steam Deck” tab for reports.
Usually controller support is enough, though.

Could be weirdness, or oversight, or maybe optimistically trying to quietly encourage Linux usage outside of Steam Deck? Who knows.

Mudborne and Slime Rancher 2 were pretty good.

On principle they’re right.
They’re naive Nazis thinking the orange leopard won’t let his corrupt friends eat their faces, but also fuck any and all authoritarian censorship.

I wonder if they ripped his Starfield model for the remaster
