Little pro-tip - I got a Corsair drive and tried putting it in external enclosure to copy to it, that didn't work.
These small Nvme drives are dram-less, so they borrow some memory from the host system. All of these drives have a fallback mode when they can't borrow host memory, which is slower. Apparently, the fallback mode is so well programmed that drive can crash during large write sessions.
It worked just fine once I put the new drive inside the Deck, and pulled data from the old drive sitting in the enclosure instead.
"Gnome Power Statistics", which you can install from Discover Store in Desktop mode, will tell you the battery's health.
If it's an earlier build of Steam Deck, the battery is probably glued in like hell. I think Valve eased up on that later on.
Clair's default graphics on Deck are unbelievably ugly, doing the SteamDeck=0 thing is mandatory. I was never great with reaction games, so the slight framerate loss means I go from "missing counters 98% of the time" to "missing counters 98.2% of the time". I'll take that.
If Hell is empty, then where do all of the souls too poor to buy Genuine Church Indulgences go?
Haven't tried these out on a calibrated six year old, but some that I liked which might be in the ballpark are Tinykin, a Short Hike, Smurfs Vileleaf, Loddlenaut, Lil Gator Game, Little Kitty Big City, Costume Quest, What the Golf/Car.
Luanti is all the minecraft a kid needs these days
I think the xray is from ifixit? I nudged trimming it until the port and volume up button lined up just so.
I don't think that systemd has a whole lot of sleep-management architecture that does what you want? What it does have is the ability to do "suspend-then-hibernate", which would suspend for some set time, wake up, and flip over to hibernating. I've set that up on Debian (not too hard), Ubuntu (pure hell), haven't tried on SteamOS.
What you want is technically possible without changing the hardware or firmware, but I think it would take an unreasonable amount of systemd coding.

I don't think that dxvk is a thing that you're supposed to pull in on its own. Any recent version of Proton (and especially ProtonGE) brings its own up-to-date copy of it.
Or, you might want to go to the studio's original title, Sunshine Heavy Industries. It's pretty much just building spaceships out of legos.
Still too much room for the bladder
