Stupid noob question, but what do you all use to stream video on your SteamDeck?
Look for the app ElectronPlayer here. It’s a little old but has been working flawlessly for me in game mode.
- Just found Electron Player: an Integrated Video app that works well in gaming mode- add to steam the same way as emustation after opening in desktop once

Would anyone mind telling me the best way to watch Netflix and YouTube and Disney + etc on my deck? I heard that it struggles?
I use ElectronPlayer. Works great in game mode and even has full screen hot keys. Not only does it come with Netflix and YouTube. It comes with paramount+, Hulu, and Disney+.
- alternative for Vanced on pc

ad guard doesn’t block twitch ads?
Stop using twitch website. Use https://pogu.live or https://github.com/oscartbeaumont/ElectronPlayer app

Even the Atari VCS (also based on Linux) has media apps and SteamOS doesn't. I hope that with the Steam Deck there, they put media apps like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max and etc.
No, probably is not :D Even Switch Shop is just a wrapped website, not a native app. That is why it is so horrible. But if you want a more "native" feel, you can always install an electron wrapper like https://github.com/oscartbeaumont/ElectronPlayer

Why is it so hard to get a Netflix client for Linux?
Not sure if this helps but you can check out ElectronPlayer which is a client for Netflix and other services. It also has an adblocker built in. I have been using it for a year or so and have no complaints.

New Web UI with Collapsible Sidebar
The desktop app i use is:: https://ytmdesktop.app/ Sadly it hasn't been updated in a while. Really wish it would. Im on the beta but its just missing some things the newest UI has and functions
-
Who are these people?
Officially it is browser only, though you can make it a Chrome app. There are open source Electron wrappers for it though which will make it a “desktop app” in the same sense that Spotify/Tidal is a “desktop app” (The Spotify and Tidal “desktop apps” are also just Electron wrappers for their browser versions).

How to get rid of annoying dark-gray sidebar on the right side of YouTube Desktop app when minimized? I just want the album art to display without that sidebar.
Oh shit! you're right! I just checked and saw that it was made by some dude or a team of contributors. I guess I should have paid more attention while downloading and installing it

Is there any official app for Windows? How can I download my songs on my desktop? I cannot see that option, like when on youtube videos
