The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), released on February 25, 2022. The Steam Deck can be played as a handheld or connected to a monitor. It is an x86-64 device with integrated gaming inputs designed to play the full Steam library, including Windows PC games via the Linux-based Proton compatibility layer. Users can modify the device's software to run non-Steam applications and games from other sources. It uses SteamOS 3.0, but is also capable of running Windows 10, and this article will focus on SteamOS compatibility and fixes.
