I know this is the second time I open up a Deck but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ok steam deck time 
mind you, this is the 256GB model
and I don’t know if it would make sense to install Windows on it 
there’s probably more RDNA2 and Linux in my home now that pretty much anywhere else in the world, that’s kinda funny
so I got asked to upgrade the other Deck and now there’s 2 Decks on my table
weird sight
Update: I used up all my time last night to backup the A partitions on the Steam Deck as they (more or less I think? I booted up into SteamOS twice by accident) came out of the box – archival is goodgood 
maybe I should have backed up the B ones but shhhhhhhhhh
💗updated firmware from F7A0101 to F7A0105, that’s out of the way now
I have now booted up Windows 11 from my Deck
yes
Windows thinks there’s a keyboard attached lol
overall, 11 is a bit of a mess on – things scaling up like a mess, the UI overall pretends there’s no touch screen because it sees a “””keyboard”””, you have to install display drivers separately… not really worth it so far
if only there were drivers for 8.1
so this exists apparently https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steamos-btrfs/
in other news, I don’t like how Plasma is X11 only by default
and the reason that seems to be the case is because the Steam Input integration completely breaks up on Wayland, making the touchpad no longer work (and I imagine it will also struggle with stuff like virtual keyboard positioning)
help there’s a cat sleeping on my Deck’s case
The Deck’s battery has stood up an entire day of active non-gaming usage, not bad!
this looks like a neat guide for Deck newcomers! it even has dev resources

(the screenshots tho lmao)
it’s missing the part I wanted to see the most tho https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/04/steam-deck-developer-mode-does-not-turn-off-the-read-only-filesystem/
Oh hey, this will come in very handy https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/0/3269060419612777126/
We are about to see the first iteration of SteamOS that doesn’t feel like a beta and I’m ready 
Back to Deck stuff… seems like the Deck really is optimized for AAA games – and AAA games only.
Look at what happens when toggling SMT https://reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ubsqq9/super_mario_sunshine_with_widescreen_and_60fps/
@xerz what happens? It is ok, no?
@debgerme you shouldn’t expect emulation to require disabling hyperthreading to work lol
@xerz lol. But what is going on in the steam deck that makes the emulation unplayable in hiperthreading?
@debgerme yeah, that’s Dolphin you’re looking at 🐬
