I know a lot of people here are more than likely going to be SD enthusiasts and more liable to modify their decks and settings a bit but I’m curious if there is any subset of people that just use it for what it is. I recently received my SD Oled. So far, out of the box, to me, it’s been exactly what has been advertised. I wouldn’t say that I have a specific goal (ie, want to run an emulator on it) that requires any additional software but I frequently see posts from people talking about modifying the settings of the steam deck to get maximum performance out of it, sometimes it seems game to game.

For me personally, that seems like a bunch of extra work to try and eek out a few extra frames or a few more minutes of battery life. I get that it’s totally worth it to some but was curious if I’m in the minority of people that basically turned it on, signed into their account and then downloaded and started playing some games without much extra configuration at all.
