I also run stuff via steamos so I cannot tell much from your setup. However, maybe there is a trick that could potentially work. On the steamos, when you are on to desktopz it is possible to switch between desktop mode and gamepad mode controllers (not sure on exact naming here). You can do this by pressing for a second or two the upper right button from the front (I believe the legend is 3 stripes or similar). On the steamos it changes modes and can help you unblock controls on weird situations.

Maybe this can help?

This is also a good one. Do you notice any battery life changes after the tdp changes that are substantial? I never looked into it too much, but I assume there are very subtle ways to get a bit more battery without too much sacrifices

Decky loader is actually very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Interesting one. I was aware of btrfs but never thought about for the deck. Heroic is on my toolbox already

Thanks for pointing out. Usually I didn’t fiddle with settings at all, much less with the steam deck ones, since usually things look good enough without much effort

Right, didn’t even think about steam settings. Half rate shading is off

OK, finally managed to sit with the deck after a long day. So from what I see, no fsr enabled. For the screen resolution, is at windowed at 720p, no framerate limit, motion blur is on (turned off now), chromatic aberration is on (what is even that??), Asus aura ready on (for… Some reason. Turned it off now). As for advanced settings, all low except texture quality and mesh quality on high
