Through the decades, Valve has earned the respect of PC gamers by simply being transparent, fair, and doing right by its customers. But there are times when even the things you love aren’t above criticism, and Valve’s latest decision to mark GTA V Enhanced as “Playable” on Steam Deck is a baffling move that certainly warrants some of that criticism.

ForbesValve Is Misleading Millions Of Steam Deck Users With Strange RatingValve has earned the trust and respect of PC gamers. But the company's latest decision to declare a massively popular game as "Playable" on Steam Deck erodes that trust.

Steam deck upgrade 1: Complete.

Thoughts:
- The entire OLED deck uses a single screw type/size. (Torx t6.) That's pretty awesome.
- The eye towards repairability, as much as a device like this *can* be repaired, is obvious. The hardest part of accessing the device was working one of the frustratingly flimsy ifixit guitar picks between the shell halves to pop it open.
- Battery storage mode, in theory, makes it so the device won't power up without external power connected. *That was a lie.* The thing definitely powered up twice after I put it into battery storage mode, while popping the case off.
- Having a 2230 ssd enclosure made things much easier in that I was able to clone the drive over prior to installation. BUT! I had to hook it up to a different device and throw gparted at it so it'd use the extra space. (This isn't really the fault of any particular tool. Balena Etcher, which I used to do the copy, was not made to expand storage thereafter. It's a clone tool. That's what it does.)

All told, job's done. Moving on to the next one... after I let my fingers recover. Trying to get the case open was a pain in the ass.

Are things installed in desktop mode on #SteamDeck isolated per account?

My brother installed Zenless Zone Zero on his account on desktop mode but when I try to launch it in my account it tells me to install it again
