So I got a steam surface, and may have played some games. But did you know that your deck is a Linux computer completely from Linux? Here are some applications that must be installed in desktop mode.
Enter the desktop mode by pressing the STAM Deck Energy button and pressing it while it is in the game mode, then choosing “Switch to Desktop” and waiting for a few moments.
To return, use the “return to the game mode” on the desktop.

Firefox
Firefox icon is installed on the Steamos taskbar when you get the Steam platform for the first time, but you still need to install it. Click on Firefox icon to open the Discover Store, which is a nice small introduction to the package manager with which you can install all types of software in only a few clicks.
Click Install and Firefox will be installed. You can then use it like any other web browser, and you will need this if you want to install some applications below.
Instead, you can run the Discover store and search for another browser of your choice. This includes Chrome (wonderful to sync with your Google account if you are already using it), Microsoft Edge, and the most mysterious browsers like Vivaldi.

Decky is a tool that allows you to customize how your Steam surface works in the game mode. It works by injecting code at the virtual deck interface. Instead of providing all adjustments within one package, Decky allows you to choose the additional ingredients you want to use.
To start, go to Diki site (In Decky.xyz) On your deck using the browser you prepared earlier. Click the “Download” button and wait for it to be completed. Open now Dolphin (file explorer) and go to the download folder. From here, click Double Click on the “Decky_installer.Desktop” file that you just downloaded and select “implement” when claiming it.
Follow the guidelines that appear on the screen and Decky will be installed. From here, run back in the game mode (using a desktop shortcut) and press the “…” button to the right of the deck. You will find a new Decky tab at the bottom of the list.
Use the Decky store to install the additional ingredients that change the features and animation or add functions such as a file server or a terminal tool to place the game. Personal favorites include ProtondB badges that add badges from ProtondB to Steam Games and DeckSettings to help you find the best configurations for your games.

Population
FacALSED may be the easiest way to sharing files wirelessly between almost any operating system. As long as both devices are connected to the same wireless network, OCALSEND must only work.
Switch to desktop mode and install FacALSED from Discover Store. Run the application and a random name will be set to your deck, which is what your devices are seen by other customers. Now send files or full folders over the air in a few clicks.
One alternative to the population Kde ConnectWhich were already installed but can be said that it is less easy to use. You can also use something like Synchronization (Also in the Discover Store) If you prefer to synchronize continuous files, which is great to save files in the simulations.

Emdeck
Emdeck is a set of all -one simulations for your steam surface. Go Emdeck site (In Emdeck.com) Click the “Download” button, then open Dolphin and go to the download folder. Double -click the “Emdeck.Desktop” file that you just downloaded and select “Implement” when claiming.
If you want to use a MicroSD card for ROMS, make sure to coordinate it inside the game mode first in the settings> System> Format SD Card using the “Format” button. You can then use a tool like FacALSED (mentioned above) to transfer files to the wireless steam deck and use Dolphin to transfer it to your MicroSD card.
Follow on the screen to set up Emdeck. Choose between the automatic simplified setting or a dedicated setting that gives you more control. Once you are finished, you can play everything from Wii U and PlayStation 3 games to corridors, and all the game of Game, and home computers like Commodore Amiga and MSX.
Once you are finished, you can use Steam Rom Manager to add games in the game position directly, so that they appear in the Steam Library like the rest of your group.
Retrodeck It is an alternative to Emdeck who works in the same way, as it deals with a lot of heavy lifting by downloading packages for you. Otherwise, you can install simulations like RPCS3 individually if you prefer it.

moonlight
Moonlight is an alternative to the computer game client on Link Steam, which you can find in Discover Store by desktop mode. In order to use moonlight, you must first install and create sunlight on your computer or use GeFORCE experience.
Although Steam Link is already working to broadcast personal computer games on the deck, a group of moonlight and sunlight provides a more responsive and stable experience. If you have tried the steam link and are not affected by the results, try instead.
For best results, make sure that your Wi-Fi connection reaches an equal foot, uses your steam surface 5 GHz, and your computer is connected to your router via ETHERNET, and that you choose Hevc or AV1 coding software Under Sunshine settings.

chiaki4deck
Did you know that you can stroke PlayStation 5 on your deck? Check first chiaki4deck (fork Czech ng) To use your deck such as PlayStation Gate.
You will find Chiaki4DecK in the Discover Store, which you can access from placing your desktop on your deck. Once Open Steam (still in desktop mode) and click Games> Add an unjust game and select Chiaki4Deck from the menu.
You will now be able to launch the application to put the game and the game flow from the PlayStation 5 control unit. Your success will be largely dependent on the quality of your wireless network, but the general consensus is that the application does better than Sony mobile applications and perhaps even the dedicated portal.

Green light
Breach Xbox to your deck with the free Greenlight app, which can also flow Xbox Cloud games for games directly to your mobile. You will first need to set up your Xbox to run away as if you were to use a smartphone for this task.
Get your Steam Steam surface ready to install Xbox by installing Appimagelauncher and Greenlight, then confirm the application and add it to Steam as an unstable front. The installation process is slightly shared than other applications in this list, but it deserves it.

heroic
Heroic is a gaming launcher that allows you to play games in your EPIC, Gozon Prime Games Games Games on your deck. You will find it in the Discover store, it can be accessed by desktop mode. Find it, install it, then log in with the relevant accounts to start.
The operator allows you to do things like improving compatibility with customized wine settings and protection, choose the game that must be installed (such as Windows or Linux), and add individual games to your Steam Library until they appear in the game mode alongside everything else.
Instead, look nonsteamlauncheers To install these bombers and more as accessible applications in the game mode.

Lotris
Lutris describes itself as a “platform for preserving video games”, but it is in fact an open source launcher that works a lot like heroic. It is unique because it also provides access to your Steam Library, which can be really useful if you are trying to get older game you don’t want to play the ball in Steamos game mode.
In addition to Steam, Humble, Epic Game Store and Goog.com, Lutris also provides access to ITCH.IO and a group of “contestants” that are accompanying ROMS and other toys to work. The operator also allows you to determine where to keep the game files.
If you have a problem installing a game with Steam, try Lutris instead. You can find the application in the Discover store, can be accessed from Steamos desktop mode.

Protonup -qt
Protonup -qt It is a small tool that allows you to install GE-PROTON compatibility options inside Steamos (it also works with Ge-Wine in Lutris). In short, this gives you more options to improve the game compatibility in a way that exceeds the Valve Proton options when trying to play non -original games in the game mode.
Find the tool in the Discover Store, then run it in desktop mode for an interface where you can install more compatibility options. It is a tool that you may not need to coincide with problems, but it is great to be in a state.
