Crashing
It happened to me too a few times, mostly with hogwart’s legacy. Maybe it is software related though according to this https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1257, so I have hope to not RMA my deck

SteamDeck OLED Wifi Issues
This is a known issue with the WiFi cards in the OLED. It looks like the chip itself has poor Linux driver support. See here.

Disable bad audio device and reset crackling sound
Another issue I saw in 3.5 and before was crackling sound (in some games), after sleep/resume. I saw this in Elden Ring and couple of other games. Looks like resetting pipewire program seems to fix this issue. You may have to add a terminal program to steam, switch to "Nested Desktop" or use decky plugin to execute following bash commands.

Some very frequently asked questions and solutions (slow network, can't connect, vpn)
There's currently a Decky plugin called TunnelDeck that makes installation of the OpenVPN client easier. It also seems to use systemd-sysext to install the networkmanager-openvpn as an overlay, so disabling read-only mode isn't necessary.
