  • Steam Deck - Display-Off Downloads - Steam News

    Jump

  • Hell yeah

    Edit:trying it out now, seems to work really well. There are two settings for it, both under Settings>Power.

    One enables it at all (and is turned on by default once updated), the other enables it on battery power specifically.

    With it enabled, pressing the power button to sleep mid download will pop up a dialog window asking if you want to download with the screen off, or sleep. The initially selected option is download before sleep (so pressing A without intentionally changing your selection will choose this option). If you don't press any buttons for 10 seconds it will just go directly to sleep instead.

  • I absolutely love Metroid Dread, sorry to hear you're not enjoying it much.

  • [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - November 2025

    Jump

  • I just finished Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter yesterday, so I haven't fully settled into what to play next. I think I'll go through my installed games and try to finish some games I was enjoying but never finished all the way, like Ys 9 and 1000xResist.

  • Have you guys noticed an increase in how much the fans run in the last month or so?

    Jump

  • Mostly Trails in the Sky First Chapter. It is possible that I just reached more demanding parts of the game, although the power usage have really changed.

    Anyways it's hard to say for sure, just wanted to see if anyone else had noticed something similar.

  • The Steam Controller 2 Got A New Icon And It Further Confirms The Layout

    Jump

  • If you look at the 3d render, it has a dpad and second joystick. I'm pretty sure the 2d icon is just meant to be recognizable without all the buttons/details.

  • Recommend Battery Packs?

    Jump

  • I have a Baseus 65w one, it can fully match the deck's max charging rate of 45w and is pretty nice. It also can show what voltage and amperage it's charging at, which is nice for identifying if something is fast charging or not.

    Unfortunately it looks like it's not for sale anymore, which makes me concerned that it might have the same battery cell safety hazard that forced Anker to issue a recall.

  • Recommend Battery Packs?

    Jump

  • They have battery packs that can charge the deck at full speed, mine goes up to 65w output which is plenty to max out the deck's 45w max. I can even use it for a dock with accessories.

  • [Edit: flawed results] ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times

    Jump

  • Here's another video on it that goes more in depth: https://youtu.be/CJXp3UYj50Q

    Basically the SteamOS version gets better fps in most games while also have way better battery life. Lower power games would get 2x the battery life when fps when both versions were targeting the same settings/fps.

    Basically windows naturally has more overhead than Linux, which really impacts performance/battery life in low power games. But vulkan also typically outperforms directX, so many directX see a noticable performance increase on SteamOS as well (although some amount of this performance gain can be had on windows as well by using dxvk).

  • My hot take on the official pronunciation of GNOME

    Jump

  • To be fair once you make a word from an acronym, it doesn't really matter what the pronunciation of the individual words was.

  • Why the fuck does it cost money to get smarter??

    Jump

  • There would have to be limitations on how many people could get paid for some degree types. It doesn't do society much good to foot the bill for degrees that don't have actual related job opportunities. It could maybe work where just heavily needed jobs get wages paid, while other degrees are only offered under the current system.

    Another thing here is that this would be another form of taxes used to directly benefit businesses. If taxes pay to educate a lot more employees for a job market, the companies in that market would directly benefit by being able to pay lower wages. I wonder if we could do a different system where companies could offer sponsorships for specific degrees in exchange for employment, similar to how ROTC works.

  • Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update.

    Jump

  • I'm trying to look for it, but having trouble finding it.

    I vaguely want to say that it was also maybe related to having pending downloads. It was like if you were playing a non-steam game, the sleep process would trigger the deck to start downloading again, interrupting the sleep. Once sleep was interrupted the game would start running again and downloads would be paused, making it seem like the deck failed to sleep for no reason. If you didn't have any downloads pending, the deck would go to sleep fine even in a 3rd party game. Unfortunately the deck frequently has a couple mini-updates available whenever you close a game, so this bug happened pretty often.

    Once again steam games didn't seem to have the same issue, and downloads would stay paused through the sleep process so it didn't get interrupted.

    This might have also been related to the decky plugin "pause games" actually, the more that I think of it.

  • Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update.

    Jump

  • Right, I just know the past issue with sleep failing would happen like 75% of the time with non-steam games, but almost never with steam games. Not sure what the cause was, but I had to wait 5-10 seconds after putting the deck to sleep to see if it would wake back up.

  • Plugging in my steam deck dock to my steam deck, then putting a mechanical keyboard makes the dock station turn off?????? (SOLVED)

    Jump

  • As others have said, it's probably that the deck +keyboard is taking too much power, so it's powering off your keyboard. I use a 65w charger for my dock so that there's extra power available.

  • Deck wakes from suspend after latest SteamOS update.

    Jump

  • Is it happening in all games? There was a similar bug in the past, but it primarily affected non-steam games for whatever reason.

  • [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - October 2025

    Jump

  • The main update for BG3 recently was adding a native Linux build to improve performance. If your performance got worse instead, you can revert to running the windows version instead. Go to steam game properties>compatibility>force a compatibility layer, and pick a proton version.

  • Deckyloader help

    Jump

  • Definitely not normal. You may need to reboot or restart the steam client.

    You can also check the homebrew/plugins folder in the Deck's home folder. It should have a folder for every plugin. If newly installed plugins don't show up there, then they're not actually installing for some reason.

  • I like your characterization of Doom Eternal as a nice relaxing game for when you need a break.

  • Yeah, it is priced kinda high. Especially since most people will want the bundle with DLC characters (Minecraft and SpongeBob characters officially confirmed, supposedly getting Avatar the last air bender, TMNT, Amogus, and others as well)
