It's been years since I tried out Decky Loader on the Steam Deck. I love what it brings and enables. Unfortunately I had to reinstall the it every time Steam got an update; which is very often, because I use Steam Beta. I am thinking of installing it again, but it was annoying in the past.

Did this issue got resolved or would I need to use stable Steam if this bothers me?

I’ve had issues with that plugin before, during 3.6 I want to say.

Up to you.

If an update to SteamOS does bork your system, you can always roll back.

Otherwise, happy tinkering. I recommend MicroSDeck if you have multiple SD cards you swap between too.

And Decky Localsend, so you can transfer files without going out of game mode.

    I actually have a different way of handling file transfer. I use my filemanager with SSH to directly access files like they would be local.

    As for an update to bork the system, I'm not that concerned about it. I am one of the pre-orders and it never borked for me. But good to know that in such a case there is a solution. My only concern with Decky Loader is just that it breaks with frequent updates. It's unfortunate.
