There are a lot of great decky plugins, but which one specifically is the most important to you?

    I really enjoy How Long to Beat. It’s nice getting to know beforehand if I’m about to open a 10h casual game or a 120h massive undertaking, specially given the portable nature of the Deck.

      Yes this is the one that made me put in a little effort to get decky installed and the extra vibrancy made a really big difference for the screen. It’s not oled but such a huge improvement over what it was.

    Shameless plug but I just re-released my Volume Mixer plugin to the store. It allows you to control the volume of games, programs, and connected Bluetooth sources like phones. I use it all the time since I usually have a podcast or stream going on my phone while playing a game

      Thanks for making that plugin! I actually just downloaded the new update for it shortly before making this post.

        Yup! The Steam Deck (or Linux really) lets you use it as a Bluetooth speaker. So I connect my phone to the Deck and my AirPods to the deck and can listen to anything that’s playing through my phone and the deck through my headphones.

    My personal favorite is Pause Games. Not only does it fix sound issues with sleep in most games, but it allows me to run multiple games at once and swap between them without it hurting performance/battery.

      Completely agree, pause games is the only one that helped me get through GTA 5! Didn’t even think to use it to run multiple games

          Will have to install it

          I’ve been playing Persona 5 and it’s such a pain when I get the audio crackling in the middle of a palace where I can’t save all the time to reboot

    Probably AutoFlatpaks so that updating all my Flatpaks is automatic and doesn’t require switching to desktop mode.

      Autoflatpaks is great, but I don’t think it updates all of my flatpaks. Seems like whenever I do switch to desktop I always have a bunch that are not updated even though autoflatpaks has been downloading updates regularly.

    Mine is vibrantdeck. It improved the image quality quite significantly. I think the option is now built in, but I don’t bother.
