Ugh, I really love #Valve and the #SteamDeck but today was just one of these days... My #ArchLinux #PC just doesn't open the steam overlay anymore, which is really annoying when using a controller.

Then I tried to play some #Everspace 2 using Remote Play on the Steam Deck. It wouldn't let me set the 1280x800 resolution, and apparently the game crashes when opening the menu. Well, I tried to use the #SteamLink app which didn't crash but just went back to the main menu.

Alright, I thought, and went to install Everspace 2 locally on the Deck, which went quick because of the new local network transfer feature. While that was downloading, I saw that there is a software update. Hoping that things would improve, I applied it immediately. The system rebooted and it didn't resume the transfer... BECAUSE THE SD CARD WAS GONE.

It actually destroyed the filesystem on the SD card and I had to reformat. Not that big of a deal because I could hust redownload everything, but...

Jeez Valve... fix your stuff. They did some amazing stuff, but they really need to focus on bugfixes more.
