Regarding the Nintendo Switch, it’s because of their engineered malicious USB-C protocol design that makes the console “Not behave like a good USB citizen should”. It’s less of an issue with the peripherals as a whole.

What display are you using as well? That sounds quite unusual.

The powered adapters are for the other way around. DP has support for HDMI out without additional components, but ofc the HDMI forum makes converting HDMI to DP like pulling teeth.

Adapting Displayport to HDMI with minimal quality loss is child’s play. It’s the other way around that’s misery.
Any cheap adapter cable that supports Displayport In to HDMI Out should be perfectly fine.

Unfortunately it’s not that simple. At least that’s the message I got from reading Librewolf’s documentation out of curiosity.

WaterFox is just Firefox without the Mozilla parts people don’t like (AI, sponsored content, telemetry). It is not as hardened as Librewolf, which can break sites with it’s anti-fingerprinting techniques. It’s a perfect browser for casual use (and widest compatibility).

You’d just be adding additional weight, removing some ergonomics (as seen with how shit the switch grips are in handheld play), and adding many points of failure for things to break.
I would bet my steam library that having detachable controllers for the steam deck would have it fail most of the impact tests they do for QA, and result in more returns due to people accidentally breaking them.

- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 weeks ago:
The way Valve set up the Deck is that the only storage initialized is the internal SSD and the SD card in big picture mode (home menu) which makes sense if you’re playing on the go - you’re not going to hold an external HDD in your offhand on the plane lol.
I believe using the dock doesn’t have any impact on how the Deck handles drives either, the official FAQ mentions it’s more akin to “plugging an external USB hub”, so that won’t solve the automount issue.
- Comment on External storage on Steam OS is a problem 2 weeks ago:
The steam deck doesn’t auto-mount external hard drives (you can confirm this by going into desktop mode and seeing the prompt to mount and browse the drive contents). Normally, SteamOS only initializes the internal SSD and the SD card currently inserted (if it’s in the file format that SteamOS expects, they provide a tool in settings).
You could purchase an SD card, place it in the slot, change over to Desktop mode, mount your external drive, and then copy your games over using steam (it’s even a feature outside of SteamOS - offline transfer between storage). That would probably be the best option.

I’m sure it’s nothing a bit of cheese-grating the graphics and a little Lossless Scaling VK can’t fix.
