After too much time spent on google I finally found this lightweight GUI + CLI tool that finds locally installed games (yes including non-steam games running under proton) and thought I'd spread the gospel!

Combeined with something like dropbox/onedrive/nextcloud, or rsync/borg/syncthing etc you've got yourself cloud backups too.

Zero configuration involved so far on my Steam Deck which is nice as well.

Forgive me if it's old news ☺️

A few more points from the (referenced) CNBC video: https://twitter.com/StreetSignsCNBC/status/1704971310361629080

  • Would like work with other hardware manufacturers to adopt SteamOS
  • Happy to see other manufacturers participating, making different decisions
  • Right now no Steam Deck VR headset, but explore more in the future
  • Keep working on the current SteamOS, version 3.5, hardware side focusing on the supply chain
  • Current iteration is a stable performance target, sweet spot for the new releases

Hey, so I'm really struggling to play Cyberpunk 2077 on the deck. The text is near illegible on its screen. When docked into a 4k TV the resolution is so poor that it's just not fun. Anyone have it running well? It's the only AAA game I have on the deck, I mainly play Terraria /Dave the Diver type games which work brilliantly.

Review is quite long (45 min). A highlight:

  • Games tested with frame timing: Steam Deck has very consistent frame timing, ROG Ally is only competitive plugged in, otherwise on battery (and the same 1280×720) the low 1% and low 0.1% are far worse than Steam Deck in several tested games, and more akin to AYANEO.

Other things:

  • Crazy $2000 for ASUS RTX “4090” eGPU with proprietary connector vs. GPD’s standardized OCuLink
  • ASUS with pushy BIOS updates and questionable benefits, sometimes even performance regressions
  • Windows 11 touch keyboard appears automatically in text fields, and more comfortable than the Steam desktop mode on-screen keyboard
  • Steam Deck with 60 fps V-Sync cap sounds more closely like ROG Ally on “Silent”, without annoying high frequency noise. But once uncapped, sounds like ROG Ally on “Turbo” and with high frequency noise.
  • The reviewed ROG Ally also developed a malfunctioning SD card reader, like many reports.
