If you respect a few rules the Steam Deck is as easy as a Nintendo Switch to run games;
- Only buy Verified/Playable games
- Learn how to lower the frame rate in the quick access menu
- Don’t tinker too much
- Don’t read too much Reddit

It’s not the first time this happen in Canada. I believe it happened every time there was a surge in orders. There is nothing you can do but be patient.
Yes. You shouldn’t use GE Proton for most Steam games. It takes more disk space and doesn’t provide any significant benefits. Especially, you shouldn’t be using it for Verified/Playable games, since those games have been tested on a well supported Proton version and there may be regressions in GE Proton since it’s a community project and not tested as well.
The button underneath is probably broken. That happen if the Deck falls on the bumper, it might be fine for a while and then broke later when playing. It will require soldering skills to fix. And probably sourcing a replacement button.
Africa is probably not a priority. There are very few Steam users in Africa: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/.
I haven’t used mod organizers, so I can’t say on that. But for mods you can install on the Steam Workshop (ex: CS2, Rocket League, KOTOR), it’s extremely easy. And for mods you need to download and copy into a game folder (ex: Sims 4) or replace game files manually, it’s easy too.
We are still working on it and have it working on our cooker builds.
Nice! Probably still the biggest missing feature for some people to make the jump from EmuDeck.
After the last development update, we got connected with Tyson Tan
Great news. I really like his style.
There is known major issues when using KDE under Wayland (which is the display server used when in gaming mode): https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers
They are probably not a big deal for the majority of people here but I think Valve is actively trying to fix those and waiting for the fixes before making it an official thing.
Don’t underestimate Valve. They can really do wonders.
There is tons of tutorials on Reddit and YouTube. Unfortunately, there isn’t good official documentation of those features for end users.
