    Will reflash my Deck once this hits stable as it’s acting up in various different ways.

      Is there a way to do a clean installation of the OS without wiping all your downloads? I’d be tempted to do this as I think compound updates over the last two years have caused a few issues (I’ve got the original steam deck)

        The steam recovery media let’s you reinstall just the OS while preserving user files.

        As long as you haven’t done anything too dramatic like converting your file system to BTRFS

        Edit: This will downgrade you to a much older version of SteamOS though, from which you would then have to update back to current. This can be a problem because some early issues (like the OLED deck not being able to connect to wifi 6E networks) can make it frustrating to update.

    Is it a Foss or at least an open linux based distro though?

    Its still Arch under the hood, all is well.
