Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #13
JunkStore@lemm.ee 3 days agoHey PerfectDark alerted us to your query. We use it on vanilla Arch in Big Picture Mode on our laptops. But we know people use it with Bazzite and some other distros. We also test on Bazzite in a VM.
If you want to set your partner up with it, you’ll have to download/install Decky and then Junk Store. Then to open up the QAM to get to Junk Store you would need to push ctrl+2.
If you have any other questions, queries or need help/guidance please feel free to find us in out discord server (that’s one of two places we regulary patrol). Discrod Invite Link: https://discord.gg/HS9QtX5kXW

That means having to use big picture mode though right?
JunkStore@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Yes but you don’t have to be in game mode.

Big picture has the same performance issues as gaming mode on nvidia though doesn’t it?
I remember my partner trying it when we first built her pc and it was awful. Although at the time she was on a 1050 Ti temporarily, which also had other issues on the OS. She’s now on a 3050 so maybe it’s better now?

We don’t think so but we don’t have any nvidia machines to veryfi this.
We suggest testing it to see, it might be better with updated hardware. Testing it out will be the only way to verify for yourself.
Maybe someone else who reads this and has more experiece/knowledge around this can chime in to offer advice.
