Got a Steam Deck on the way, anything I should know before I dive in when it arrives?

    Even if you don’t want to use it as a computer having a Bluetooth keyboard is almost a must-have because otherwise configuring non-steam games in windows mode is a real pain.

        If you’re a little less CLI savvy, KDE Connect will be much easier. Winpinator on your desktop and Warpinator on the Steamdeck works well and can sometimes help if file copies via KDE Connect fail.

        SSH is weirdly slow however. There is a command to disable wifi powersaving (or something like that) which is the cause but I couldn’t be bothered lol.

          If you stream games or play multiplayer you may want to consider disabling that anyway as it dramatically improves the WIFI speed and reliability.
