  I’ve entered the serial number of my Germany-bought model and it said it’s not from the affected batch and safe to use.

  If you’ve got a slow-ish SD card and a game that compresses very well, then this might be the case. But with a modern card from e.g. SanDisk or Samsung with U3 and A2 certifications, this probably won’t do that much.

  And BTRFS with compression and deduplication are great to save space.

  I’m not sure I’d go as far as replacing the file system. There’s a plethora of tools to do deduplication on ext4 as well. Albeit manually (or via cronjob).

  Also, btrfs seems to be slower for random reads than ext4. At least that was the case back in 2019.

  Uh, The Outer Worlds is quite different to Outer Wilds.

  After I really enjoyed “The Outer Worlds” on my Switch, the first games I’m playing on my (only recently bought) Steam Deck are the Fallout FPS games. Finished Fallout 3 last week and am currently enjoying New Vegas.

  Try to enable “Game Mode” or “PC Mode” on your TV for that HDMI input. Also check the audio settings for supported formats and play around with the settings.

  Also, what dock are you using?
