Is anyone using the steam deck as their day to day computer?
I just plugged the steam deck in to a monitor and while I was transferring some roms and started to wonder if it would be feasible to use as a day to day computer while docked.

I swapped my 64GB out for a 1TB immediately after opening mine. Everything works…except the left shoulder button. It often doesn’t click when pressed and even when it does register in game as a button press, its very smushy feeling. A quick search online suggests its a very common problem....
Every PC I’ve ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it’s docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays....
Hopefully this is the right place to post this, if not let me know
With the release of bazzite 2.0 and the existence of other steamOS-like distros like chimera OS, I’m just wondering if anyone is running their steam deck with a different distro than what was shipped. How does the experience stack up, do you prefer something like chimera or bazzite? Just wondering if I’m missing out by...
I played about 4 hours and 15 minutes tonight while plugged in the whole time and it ran pretty great. I had FSR 2.1 on and ran most settings at Medium with a couple low like the Vehicle and People on the Street Density on Low. I switched the Textures from Medium to High for the last 20 minutes or so and I saw a minimal change...
With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...
Has anyone else ran across this? Every time I close a game and try to go back to the home page, I just get a blank, black screen. It’s still on, and I can move the mouse cursor and see it, but everything else is basically frozen. No steam menu or system menu will pop up, only the cursor.
On update 3.5 of Steam OS, there was a call out about being able to customize the overlay by editing the ~/.config/MangoHud/preset.conf....

In gaming mode on the Steam Deck the CPU is presented to the games as having 8 cores instead of 4 cores with 8 threads. This seems to increase performance for some titles....
I’m looking at getting a 1TB SD but I’m trying to figure out if the Limited Edition SD is worth beyond the look of it. If it’s just looks then I probably will get the regular 1TB Steam Deck.
Hey, so I’m really struggling to play Cyberpunk 2077 on the deck. The text is near illegible on its screen. When docked into a 4k TV the resolution is so poor that it’s just not fun. Anyone have it running well? It’s the only AAA game I have on the deck, I mainly play Terraria /Dave the Diver type games which work...
Title, and thanks.
I made it most of the way through without looking anything up which means I’m definitely missing stuff, but once I got to Xen I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be doing several times. I think I’m two sections away from beating the game....
If you are like me you want to be able to adjust your logitec/steelseries/asus (among other) mouse settings within the deck itself while in desktop mode....
Hey SteamDeck’ers, As we’re all aware that Valve broke Remote Play on SteamDeck and hasn’t fixed it yet. I’m seeing lots of people having their sound cut off few minutes into streaming, or having lots of ghost input with bluetooth controllers....
I’ve always been somewhat disappointed with the responsiveness and tactile feel of the steam/menu buttons beneath the track pads. Is anyone out there selling clickier replacements for these?
First time playing this game and I’m wondering if the shadows format is worth it over the regular color version of the game. Also, I think some scenes don’t show up well in the shadows version: Bruce Wayne looking at some stuff on the bat cave monitor. Anyone can give some feedback here?
I’m curious how people play multiplayer games on the steam deck: online and offline. I want to get into them but I am not sure how sound this goal is right now. The only multiplayer games that I have played were dead by daylight. But I know that cannot be the only game that offers multiplayer. Share with me your...
After I finish up Jedi Survivor, and play Starfield on my vacation next month, I plan to sell my gaming laptop and move over to Deck only. I have a 2TB ssd in the Deck for Steam OS, and a 2TB ssd in my jsaux dock, where I’ll install an OS for general computing. I had planned to install Windows, since I use a few bits of...
When playing game pass, there is a tab in the upper left with eight dots that is used to access the Xbox menu. Problem is, I have an oled and when I play docked it bothers me that it might burn in eventually. Any way to remove this?
I fought with prime hack for a while trying to get it to work. I was using the GameCube Metroid prime 2 iso....
Having issues when opening some flatpaks (I think only X11) in Desktop Mode, controller input stops working, I can only use touch screen. Controller starts to work after I triggers Controller Settings in Steam(still in Desktop Mode)....
I just received my Steam Deck OLED 1Tb; the screen is amazing in relation to the LCD version, however I had a problem with the D-PAD not working at all....
