Hi all! I bought a used Steam Deck 2 weeks ago and I am loving it! I am playing Fallout 4 on it and it works amazingly good!
So, what is your choice when you finish playing?
I put the Steam Deck to sleep and the next day the battery was 7 percent lower than before. I am thinking of just shutting it down so it doesn't drain battery in sleep mode.
Honestly most of the time I don't even close the game, I just put the device to sleep, I'm usually near an outlet so loosing a few percent doesn't bother me, I do use a plugin to cap the charge to 85% though
Oh no I didn’t know about that plugin. I tend to just pause manually, then sleep. I agree with you on the convenience of just putting it to sleep and picking it back up later. Super awesome feature that I feel is overlooked. Or maybe just not talked about a lot.
I use a lot of plugins, all downloadded/installed through Decky Loader, some are just aesthetic, some add features, such as decky recorder which only causes a slight prefomance hit (you really should look at them to see)
Other things that I would recommend that aren't Technically plugins are Cryo Utils (which does have a prefomance boost as explained in The Devs official video here )
And Emudeck for well... Easy emulation, there are a lot of videos for all of these things online if you need tutorials
Edit: just occurred to me that you might have been asking about the plugin I use to cap charging, for that I use Power tools, unfortunately it only works while the device is awake though
