    I live outside the US so with me regional pricing it’s like $12.

    Now, my steamdeck will not boot up.

    It was glitchy after a decky update so I’ve got to fix that first.

    Try booting into a live environment and renaming the folder with the Decky plugins. I think it's ~/homebrew.

    If you want to completely disable Decky from autostarting, you can chroot into your SteamOS and disable plugin_loader.service with the command "systemctl disable plugin_loader.service". You might have to add "--user" after the word disable.

    Thanks! How do I boot into a live environment? Is it an option from the boot menu?

    You will need a USB type C to type A adapter and a USB hub. Flash the SteamOS recovery image (or any other distro) to a flash drive, noting that it will erase all the data on it. Plug a keyboard and that flash drive into the Steam Deck, then hold volume down while turning it on to get into the boot menu.

    For chrooting instructions, read this: https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/man/steamos-chroot

    Your drive is going to be /dev/nvme0n1

    You may need to switch into your user profile after chrooting if the first systemctl command doesn't work. I think the username in SteanOS is "deck", so the command is "su deck"
