SteamOS is a new operating system that makes Steam Deck better. It fixes bugs, improves microSD, and in some cases, even improves battery life by 10%.

Steam Deck is one of the most popular handheld gaming PCs, but it's not unheard of to find a software bug. Valve has released a new OS update which may make the handheld a bit better and squash a bunch of bugs.

SteamOS 3.6.19 was just released and Valve has provided a list of what has changed. SteamOS 3.6.19 fixes a number of issues, including "the frame limiter failing to apply properly in certain situations" and "a rare issue that could corrupt sound output on certain boots". It also improves stability and includes quality-of-life improvements.

This update, it is interesting to note, will improve the speed and reliability of future OS updates. This includes a problem with some SanDisk MicroSD cards not being picked up by the device.

This update will benefit those who use their decks for non-gaming activities, such as light browsing. The LCD Steam Deck has "Improved Battery Life by up to 10% under light load situations", and also includes overclocking controls. Steam Deck OLED has now caught up to the LCD, which already had a superior battery.

You can ask your device to update if you want the latest version of SteamOS to be installed on your Steam Deck. It should happen automatically when your Steam Deck is plugged in and asleep, but you can also do it manually. Click the button in 'System' and then 'Settings.' This will check for updates. If you detect an update, simply ask it to download it and install it.

If you do not see the update, check your Internet connection to make sure that it hasn't been downloaded automatically.

Steam Deck will improve in small ways once it's been downloaded. You won't see any changes right away unless you have specific bugs that were fixed. However, it will lead to a smoother OS experience.

If you have been struggling to get the microSD to work on your Steam Deck you can now fit more games onto your Deck. You will pass them over before you start another run of Balatro.
