Slap a ferrite bead on the cable. It will likely solve the interference issue, and they’re super cheap. You can get a variety pack for like $10 on amazon. They’re handy to have on hand, because an unbelievable amount of consumer-grade electronics are just fucking rawdogging the EM spectrum with unshielded cables and hoping for the best.

You can also try a quick and dirty fix, by slapping a ferrite bead on the HDMI cable. That’s an old trick from the analog world. Depending on how it is picking up interference, this may easily fix it without needing to rebuild your entire setup. Worst case scenario, you’re only out like 10 cents for the bead.
- Comment on What is your favorite Steam deck Bluetooth keyboard? 3 weeks ago:
I have a Samsers brand just like this in my gig bag, and I love it. The hot-swapping between devices is nice, cuz it also pairs with my iPad. So I can have both paired, then swap back and forth as needed.
- Comment on 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility 4 weeks ago:
I mostly use them for mode shifts. For instance, shifting to emulated mouse when holding R4, so I can use desktop stuff easier.

The issue is that the back paddles weren’t unique buttons. You could configure them to press existing buttons, (like telling it to press A when you hit the right paddle,) but they weren’t listed as individual inputs. Now they are, so you can actually map unique actions to L4, R4, etc…

Adobe support

Jokes aside, Adobe refuses to play nice with Linux. It likely won’t matter which distro you choose, because none of them will cleanly support Adobe. You can use Wine as a workaround, at least. - Comment on Has the Deck turned *off* any other Steam users? 2 months ago:
Use Family Sharing, instead of sharing your account. Steam’s Family Sharing program is actually one of the most generous in the industry. It used to be the case where you’d get booted off of a game if the person who owned it opened a game. But they changed it a while back, to where you essentially have a digital bookshelf of games, and sharing members can choose from any game on the shelf. As long as you’re not trying to play the same game, everything is kosher. Or hell, you can even buy multiple copies of the same game if you want to play together, the same way you can keep multiple copies of a game on a shelf.
Switching accounts on the Steam Deck is easy too, because you simply pick which profile you want to use. Plus it means you’re not sharing save files, because each profile has their own saves; Anyone who has ever lost a cherished save file because of a younger sibling hitting “New Game” will be able to see the value in that. There’s very little reason to avoid setting up Family Sharing.
- Comment on Using the Steam Deck docked has been a dreadful experience for me. Is it just me going wrong? 4 months ago:
The funny part is that the official dock was what gave me a ton of issues. The JSAUX dock has been hassle free.
