  • Have you tried a BIOS update? I had an issue with my screen and thought I needed repair but it turns out some hardware issues are linked to the BIOS. These are the instructions steam support gave me, just on the off chance they help you:

    To update to that BIOS you will need to opt into the ‘Main’ OS update channel:\

    • Turn on Developer settings (steam button > settings > system > ‘Enable Developer Mode’)
    • Turn on ‘Show Advanced update Channels’ in developer settings (steam button > settings > developer settings)
    • Set Deck to ‘Main’ in OS Update Channel (steam button > settings > system)
    • Select Apply under ‘Software Updates’ above and then select the ‘Restart’ once it is done.
    • Once the Deck restarts and has loaded to the OS, unplug the external monitor to test if the Deck’s internal screen is now displaying correctly.












  • It’s a milestone and it shows quick progress. And yes, a lot of that 2% is the Steam Deck but that’s the point. The Steam Deck is putting Linux gaming in the literal hands of people who wouldn’t normally use Linux and as it gains in popularity, we can expect the Linux percentage to go even further up.

    Also 2% doesn’t sound like much but it was enough for MacOS to start getting native ports of games. We’re already seeing plenty of games now getting Linux ports or at least being tuned to work with Proton at near native compatibility and performance.

    I don’t understand your negativity here
