Fixes and Features the Steam Deck is still missing.

The Steam Deck is a masterwork of hardware and software. It’s proof that having an Operating System and hardware crafted together as one, coherent product is a valid way to bring a PC to market.

While it has been a minute since we’ve had some new and truly exciting software features for Steam Deck, the Deck’s software is by no means finished.

There are odd crashes and stability issues. Gaps in features and oversights in implementation. That’s why I’m making this video. Here are 10 missing features and important fixes we need for the Steam Deck.
