i have the same problem and tried “shader warming” already. Unfortunately the problem persists

my workaround is to put it in the official dock, but let the tv turned off or change the channel. this results in the deck internal screen turned off

with the latest proton experimental it works

the left side of my steam deck was very unresponsive. i returned it to valve. the new device i received works like every other touch device i have.

in game mode the resolution is fixed on 800p by default. you have to switch to native resolution in the steam settings of a game

as a workaround i put the steam deck in the dock without puting the tv on. with this the steam deck can download with display off.

you could give emuze a try: https://github.com/bmsuseluda/emuze

i worked on it for about 2 years and released it a few days a go. it is a passion project of mine. maybe you like it 🙃

sadly no, because i do not have a mac. Right now the following systems are supported:

• windows
• linux with flatpak support
• steam deck

i think the main difference is the ui itself. emulation station looks great but is build for a console like experience only. with emuze the ui is more simplified with the sidebar for your systems and a main part with a grid of your games. i like this simplified approach more. on top of this it is usable with a mouse like a typical desktop application but also with a controller on a tv.

i use manjaro for about 3 years as my daily driver and do not have problems at all.
