Hi everyone!

So I've got my LCD Steam Deck for around a month and I've been only playing docked (no dock but with a USB-C cable) to my computer screen so far, but I plan on playing it on the go as soon as we go on vacation or as soon as I start playing another game than Frostpunk which requires a mouse.

For now I have a few questions:

-I have a Philips screen Model 273B9 and its resolution is 1920x1080@50HZ. Sometimes the resolution is all fucked up when I turn on the Steam Deck and sometimes it's fine. I've tried disabling the automatic adaptation in the Deck settings, but so far, I haven't found a perfect solution. I'm also a bit lost about the necessity of changing the in game resolution settings or the Steam per game properties settings for resolution.

-Is it possible to have a setup (TDP, Framerate, resolution, effects, controller settings) for when the Steam Deck is linked to my screen and charging through the USB-C cable coming out of it and another more economical setup for when I'm on the go. Ideally I'd want the Steam Deck to detect these situations automatically, but I don't mind having to just select a profile every time I'm going from one situation to another.

-As I'm often buying games from my Surface Go running Fedora or my iPhone (through Firefox, not the app), is there a way to see if a game is steam deck verified on the store from these devices? In a way, I'd want Steam to know that my only gaming device is a Steam Deck and that everything I'm ordering is for this device.

-I also plan on buying around half of my games on GOG. Can someone confirm that I'd get achievements through Heroic? I feel a bit ashamed to say that I've been addicted to trophies on Playstation for years..

-Can you use Steam input to modify controller settings for non-steam games?

-I also haven't found a way to get a swiss vitual keyboard in the UI (QWERTZ with é,è,à). Is it impossible because the Deck isn't officialy sold in Switzerland? I can do it in desktop mode, but the one from the Steam UI is still the one appearing no matter what I do.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Per this page:

https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/discussions/2728

GoG achievements are supported in Heroic, but you need to enable the setting, see the developer's comment from 2024 towards the bottom of that page.

Some users said it doesn't show the achievement unlocked display in the game but it shows the achievements on your GoG profile.
