Steam Deck and Desktop Steam Beta updates fix up Login UI, store updates on Deck

Fixed a graphics driver crash related to dismissing the onscreen keyboard in desktop mode.
OMG! Thank You so much for fixing this.

They need to fix the monumentally broken virtual keyboard on the Steam Deck's desktop mode. Every time I'm done typing and close the keyboard there's a 50/50 chance the Deck will completely crash going to a black screen, and I have to hard reset.

Steam Deck wins Best Gaming Hardware at the 40th Golden Joystick Awards

Quoting: itscalledrealityCongrats, but what were the qualifications?

What were the other candidates?

A Playdate?

The Steam Deck has some nice hardware but is in no way a bleeding edge device. Heck it has a semi-weak screen just to keep costs down.

EDIT:
Oh I see it was a public vote, lame.

And for those curious here’s what it was up against (it beat out a PS5 harddrive lol):

Best Gaming Hardware

Playdate
Steam Deck (WINNER)
Analogue Pocket
Backbone One: PlayStation Edition
Roccat Kone XP
WD_Black SN850 NVMe SSD for PS5
The screen could be better, but it's not bad at all. It looks pretty good when you have it in your hands, you can't appreciate it on videos.

The Steam Deck is awesome, but giving it an award against those other ridiculous candidates is laughable at best.

Too late Ubuntu. Arch is the new Linux gaming king now, you had your chance and you blew it.

Apex Legends now broken on Steam Deck and Linux desktops (update: fixed)

This will be fixed soon because Gaben wants to play Apex, and nobody in their right mind would want to make Gaben mad.

Quoting: pete910And this is why I don't like this relyance we are heading for on wine/proton ! :wink:

Native FTW !
About 90% of Linux native games are an abandoned buggy mess that work far better if you force them to play through Proton.

Bungie say a big fat no to Proton and Steam Deck for Destiny 2

I just gave Destiny 2 a thumbs down on Steam because no Deck support, if enough people do that maybe they'll change their minds.
