Valve makes a few more small tweaks to the Steam Deck in the latest client update out now and ready to download. Not a big update but still quite a welcome one, as it fixes up a few minor issues plus the size of the client is now reduced.
Here's what's new:
- Reduced size of client by removing unused sounds
- Improved focus stability when exiting a library fast scroll
- Added library fast scroll when sorting by achievement percentage or friends playing
- When sorting by hours played, games with no playtime are now separated from those with under one hour of playtime
- Fixed focus display issue when applying an Update
- Fixed issue selecting a store preview link in Chat
How about some more Steam Deck videos? Got you covered on our YouTube Channel. Here's a couple recent looks at performance:

Quoting: scaineNo idea what happened during the tutorial boss fight at the 10:30 mark though. Mangohud was still reporting 40+fps, but the video is a slideshow. Maybe just a recording blip?Ugh, OBS apparently had a blip there so I've told youtube to cut that bit out. Very annoying as I checked and the recording seemed fine but I must have missed that.

Quoting: EikeThat's quite different. While he can ignore the articles automatically, it's not possible to ignore all such comments in an automated fashion. (I'm not saying anything about if such comments are useful or not, I'm only talking about "automatic" visibility.)
I meant the statement to ignore content you're not interested in. You're of course right about using content tags to ignore something you literally never want to see again.

Good, streamlining it. Not to mention the steam deck uses sd cards so definetly a welcomed optimization.

Quoting: andy155Valve reduces the size of the Steam Deck client in the latest update? Honestly but who cares? You really exaggerate with the deck news.I personally find stories like this of interest. You are free to skip over this content, or you can start your own Linux gaming site that focuses only on "important" stories.

If anything these articles save me from pressing "check for updates" every 15 seconds on my deck. I've never been so invested in a device's software updates.
I'm going to await further release cadence clarifications from Valve but the 5 available update channels are tantalizing. I'd assume Stable (Default - duh) <- Release Candidate <- Beta <- Beta Candidate <- Main.

Quoting: emphyThat's completely illogical. If other things are taking up too much space, all the more reason for any given thing to take up less space.Quoting: andy155Valve reduces the size of the Steam Deck client in the latest update?

On top of that; it's a fairly useless optimisation as long as the primary mode of installing non-steam software is using those bloated packages.
It's also probably irrelevant to most Steam Deck users, because few will be installing much non-steam software, if any.

Ich glaub, in der Übersetzung kam das ein wenig krasser rüber wie ich das eigentlich gemeint hatte. ;(
Ich kann mir das Ding nicht leisten und bin neidisch! Entschuldigung.

For the English reading folks around: "I think in the translation that came across a little more harsh than it was actually meant. ;(
I can't afford this thing and I'm jealous! Sorry."
