Managing screenshots and non-Steam shortcuts shouldn’t crash the system as frequently. Keep in mind this is also in beta development. To go along with this OS update, Valve have also updated the Steam Deck client.

To opt-in, go to System -> Settings -> and under OS Update Channel select “Beta.” Download the update, then restart the system. Fixed audio output with some 32-bit games that use ALSA Fixed some instances of corrupt audio after resuming from sleep Fixed multi-channel audio on external displays Fixed Bluetooth profile selection not being saved when switching away from Desktop mode Fixed echo cancellation CPU overhead when the microphone isn't being used, improving power usage in idle or near-idle scenarios Fix washed-out colors in the Remote Play client when playing with specific hosts Added support for the Qanba Obsidian and Qanba Dragon arcade sticks in PC mode

Fixed the panel backlight staying on while docked Fixed the panel staying off when disconnecting from dock shortly after resuming from sleep Add built-in controller driver that takes effect when Steam isn't running in desktop mode Updated wireless driver with fixes for WiFi disconnection issues on 5Ghz Updated graphics driver with compatibility and performance fixes The Adaptive Brightness toggle is now active again in the Steam Client Beta Fixed a performance issue with some games when the backlight changes intensity. These keyboards are now available in Steam Client Beta Full patch notes are as follows: - Support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean keyboard. The SteamOS update adds keyboard support for additional languages, brings the adaptive brightness toggle back, updates both the graphics and wireless network drivers, adds a built-in controller driver when Steam isn’t running in Desktop Mode, and plenty of bug fixes. So, I hope nobody minds if I just do a quick copy & paste of the patch notes for today’s update, as both the underlying SteamOS has been updated to 3.3 (as a beta), as well as the Steam Deck client itself (also in beta). Man, it’s been hard to keep up with all the updates Valve has aggressively been pushing out for the Steam Deck.
