decky-loader VS steam-deck-utilities

If you haven't installed Decky Loader, you can do that by following the instructions at https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader

Here is what happened: I did some Desktop mode stuff recommended by a friend. In essence I succesfully installed the Decky Loader and afterwards installed the PowerTools as described here: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader

Decky Loader and it's plugin vibrantDeck. Set saturation to 200% to achieve somewhat-OLED-like colors in game. Alternatively, someone said that ReShade also does the job (see the same optimization guide here).

Clicking on the Download button here https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader following this guide https://gamerant.com/steam-deck-how-install-decky-loader-guide/

It's right in their github (https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader)

CryoUtilities for performance optimization.

First you will need Cryoutilities installed. Set it up and set the recommended settings. There is a guide on how to set VRAM to 4gb in the video for Cryoutilities, so do this as well. Next install the Starfield Potato Mode Textures Mod and use the 256 bit version for slightly better quality (the standard version is a bit better performance but I don’t like the muddiness of the textures).

Then I installed the CryoByte utility as described here: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities (also worked fine).

CryByte33 utilities app. Pay attention that you will need to apply 4G graphics memory fix from Steam Deck BIOS too.

CryoUtilities will let you keep the shader cache on the same storage device the game is installed on. I still think an SSD is a worthwhile upgrade but I thought that was worth mentioning.

Use https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities to move your game's shader caches to the drive each game is on, instead of the default 64gb ssd.
