I plugged my Steamdeck into my usb-c dock and set the primary display to the secondary monitor and switched the built in screen off. When it finished, the launcher bar disappeared and so did the ability to set it as the primary display. Unplugging, has the same issue but with the built in display. I recently re-imaged the deck because I have been distro hopping on it. This is the first time I’ve been in the desktop mode since re-imaging. It’s been working fine in gaming mode for the last few weeks.


I want the wireless phovated streaming. I’m hoping I can use it in my backyard to have a huge play space. I also like the idea of using it as a linux “spatial computer”. IDK how well that’s going to work. I might still use my index for seated VR stuff where any drift would be noticeable.


The index’s resolution kind of sucks at 1440x1600.The steamframe is better at 2160x2160. The index is kind of potato vision IMO. The really high quality tracking from light houses is all the index has.
