- Solution: Wait for SteamOS 3 to update KDE Plasma.
- Steam Deck client shows corrupt graphics.
- Solution: the Steam Deck client works best on modern AMD GPUs but has also been reported as working on some Intel and NVIDIA graphics devices. Use the "Steam Desktop" application instead.
- Steam Deck client cannot login.
- Solution: log into the “Steam Desktop” application first.
- Close Steam completely, launch the “Steam Desktop” client, select “Remember my password” and login, install and launch a game, close Steam completely, and then launch the “Steam Deck” client again. This is only required to be done once.

- Solution: Run the "winesapOS Upgrade" desktop shortcut to re-install an older version of Pamac that works on SteamOS.
- NVIDIA graphics cards boot to a black screen.
