Steam Deck

The controller doesnt appear at all in the list of avialable bluetooth devices on the deck

I have a 'screenshots' folder on my laptop. I would like my steam deck to send the screenshots that I take on it to that same folder, or have it synchronized somehow. What is the best or most intuitive way of accomplishing this?

I've been trying to install rocm on the deck following this guide

Just wondering if anyone has been streaming games from their desktop and how it works when they put their Deck to sleep.

Like 45° or below. Something that won't break easily or damage the Steam Deck and is not toxic or won't cause cancer somehow

I like the steam deck, but I have many physical copies of PC games, any good way to install these? Ideally without internet access. Thanks!

First of all, this isn't my guide, so I may not be able to help if you have issues. The source for the guide was a reddit comment here.

Hi. So background is I'm 50 and I've not done much gaming since vice city and the original silent hills +unreal tournament. I'm trying to get back into it but I'm frustratingly crap.

I've been trying to code python on my deck and I can't for the life of me figure out how to activate the virtual environment. I keep using "source .venv/bin/activate" and it does nothing. No errors, no feedback, doesn't hang, doesn't use the environment, nothing.

Just so i can see what I'm playing on the big screen.

Has anyone had issues with trying to get the steam deck to work with a receiver? I tried and was getting no output. I couldn't find any change that I could make to get it to work. I connected it directly to the TV and it worked immediately..

So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

Edit: IT FIXED ITSELF I WAS GONNA TRY ONE OF YOUR IDEAS AND BEFORE I TRIED IT I CHECKED MY STEAM DECK AND ITS FIXED :D

Grabbed this on sale – anyone had success running this on Steam Deck?

So, I think I got backwards-deck. I play Rocket League, so input lag is a big deal for me there. However, the issue I have seems opposite of what I see online:

Looks like all the refurbished models are out of stock on steam at the moment.

I spilt some water on my deck earlier today. Mainly on the screen and touch pad and joystick. I'm a little worried some may have gotten into the vent on top. I dried it off ASAP. I powered it off and stuck it in some rice.

I've been considering getting a mini PC for my living room, basically only to watch online videos without ads or watch locally stored videos.

Steam deck (LCD model) will, at no point, turn on unless plugged into charger or hooked up to the dock, regardless of how much battery is left. No response when trying to do things like booting into bios or anything else. Works perfectly fine when plugged in, docked to TV or standalone. No feedback at all, either, from buttons or trackpad haptics either when unplugged.

If so, which ones? I am looking to game and talk to friends over discord on my Steam Deck. No FPS, more bullet hells, ARPGs, etc. Thank you!!

I'm planning to buy Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed (what a title...)(Edit:I'm stoopid) and I remembered how fun it felt to control the first game on the Wii.

When the OLED decks first came out, many people found they had wifi issues after attempting to connect to 5Ghz wifi 6 enabled routers. This has thankfully been fixed with software updates, and is no longer an issue on new OLED decks.

Getting my steam deck tomorrow. Already had Linux like steam deck on my laptop a while ago (didn't work well because fuck Nvidia)

This may overlap a lot with the discussion on what people are buying during the Steam sale discussion, but here it is anyways.

Seems like my wife just missed the cut-off. She was looking at purchasing earlier today, but now that they’re gone she’s pretty crestfallen 🙁

Hey all, got another question. Is Lutris only managed through the desktop mode or is there some sort of plugin you can use to manage it?

Hey all, just wondering how the battery life is after you've had it for a while? I'm getting one soon and wondered if it would have a noticeable impact on the battery if it was on a dock for most of the time.

Dbrand vs decalgirl vs others. Is there a noticeable quality difference between the skins sold by certain companies? Im mostly looking at vinyl as the material.

I dunno about other people but I play docked a lot, and typing with a controller is near unbearable sometimes. I specifically had this thought because I was playing webfishing from my couch and thought it would be nice if I could pull out my phone and open the steam app, or maybe they could make some kind of steam deck companion app for this and other features maybe, to quickly type a message or just make typing easier. I dunno if this would be difficult to implement or even possible but I think it would be neat.

So after I last updated my deck I got a generic error message. No biggie. But then suddenly on the next reboot: stuck at the boot logo. Tried lots of things, no way of getting back in. Not with the current kernel, not with the previous one. Really annoying as I use my deck as a general purpose computer too.

Hey y'all, I'm just starting to dip my toes into learning more about the Steam Deck and was wondering how likely it is that we'll see refurbished OLED decks for sale by Valve around Black Friday?

The glossy dpad and ABXY buttons are too slick IMO. Does anyone know of good matte textured buttons? Preferably in just plain black but I'm not picky.

What games would you like to be more deck friendly?

I've had my deck for 2 years now and it's been my main gaming device since the day I got it. I take it on trips and use my 3rd party dock and controller to hook it up to whichever TV is at my location.
