Especially since one of the best features is basically unmentioned. Turn on your steam deck and before you sign in for the first time, you can boot straight to the desktop. Just wish there was a toggle in Plasma to boot to desktop by default.
For all intents and purposes, you don’t need to log into steam to play games on the steam deck which is honestly shocking where most new hardware basically requires you to agree to sign in to begin using your device.
Looking at you Windows 11
Another bonus: Many very good open source games can be added to SteamDeck by:
Some suggestions: Luanti, Empty Epsilon, UnCiv, Tux Racer, most retro emulators.
I might be slightly biased, but I can also recommend OpenMW for Deck.
Are you using the controller to play it, or a mouse and keyboard?
Done both, but I’ve found I rather enjoy the mix of stick and trackpad, emulated as KB+M
Thanks! Really jonesing for some Morrowind or obkivion but my deck lives in a dock next to my TV so I’m not sure how comfortable either game will be with a wireless controller versus holding the deck.
Oblivion was released on consoles and had great controller layouts. I played it for years on PS3. Not sure if Morrowind has a similar experience.
Yea for the original Xbox, however neither PC version has those supports built in. And the mods seem to be a mediocre experience in comparison, I may just buy the Xbox/360 versions of Morrowind and Oblivion to play comfortably.
