Recently had a question about a game running on the deck, and actually got me thinking since steamos settings were briefly discussed: what are the settings to change for a steam deck, or tools to add? I do not mean more fps or more performance per say only, but more battery life or just better tools for certain aspects of the deck.

Great rebuke. Once you guys release the paid version, you may have swayed me or anyone reading to consider buying in. Hopefully you guys don't force a recurring payment like how you have set up through your Patreon

We get that not everyone will agree with every decision, but we’re aiming for a balance between sustainability and fairness. The goal isn’t to nickel-and-dime—it’s to make sure we can keep building without burning out.

Just to clarify: the GOG extension is a one-off purchase—$6 through Ko-fi or Patreon shop (and has been for a while). If you want it for $5, you can sub and cancel right away (which you have always been able to do), though that adds a bit of manual work for us when updates roll out. Recurring support is totally optional and only for those who choose to subscribe, like they do with plenty of other open source projects.

We’re Kiwis, so this might sound a bit blunt—but honestly, the software should speak for itself. If it doesn’t work for someone, they shouldn’t use it. We’re not into pushing it or spinning hype. We’ve never peddled it or tried to sell people on it. The folks who do use it? They stick around because it does what it’s supposed to, and fills a real need. That’s it.
