Is there a way to do a clean installation of the OS without wiping all your downloads? I'd be tempted to do this as I think compound updates over the last two years have caused a few issues (I've got the original steam deck)

SteamOS is immutable, you always get the same update no matter what you were running before. I think the only files that can get out of sync are in your home folder.

Ahh right thanks for confirming. When I last moved to beta, none of the buttons would work and I could only use the touchscreen. I thought that was quite odd considering beta seemed to work fine for others. Any idea what could've caused that?

Mine does this after closing a game until I open the steam menu, then the buttons work again??? So weird.

I also get this issue. This seems to happen more often in games where steam input is configured to be a mouse instead of a gamepad.
