decky-storage-cleaner VS SDH-PauseGames

https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/ You probably want Game Theme Music.

By default, Steam stores these shaders at /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/ where each directory is named after the relevant game’s Steam app ID. (For example, 1551360 is the app ID for Forza Horzion 5, whose shader cache takes up 8.9 gigabytes on my Steam Deck!) I wouldn’t really recommend deleting these caches, but you can use tools like Shader Cache Killer or CryoUtilities or Storage Cleaner for Decky to better manage these shaders– or just uninstall the relevant games that take up too much space. There’s tons of YouTube videos out there that can help you with this.

I highly suggest https://github.com/mcarlucci/decky-storage-cleaner

is https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/ working for you?

I recently found this plugin for deckyloader, it won't stop the deck filling up but it makes it less hassle to clean them yourself. https://github.com/mcarlucci/decky-storage-cleaner

>Another thing is that games don't go on suspend mode once you go to steam menus like other consoles do. The game is still running in the background (with audio and everything). In fact there is no game-suspend functionality at all, only having the device fully going to sleep actually pauses the game.

For people that like to tinker a bit, you can install Decky Loader and the "Pause Games" plugin that can suspend games, even automatically on focus loss.

Get Decky Loader and install Pause Games. Turn on pause before focus loss and pause before suspend. That solved this problem for me.

I like to use Pause Games from the Decky Plugin Loader. It seems to solve most issues regarding unresponsiveness of the sleep button. I can't garentee if it works 100% for GTAV though

The Pause Game plugin from Decky Loader resolves this issue! . https://github.com/popsUlfr/SDH-PauseGames

At first i tired loading https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/ from the test store option with in the decky settings but that never loaded. So I ended up finding the latest release on github and trying to install it via the manual url option. But even though it loads the url and gives me the option to install, it never shows up in decky loader.

On the Steam Deck, you can also use the Pause Games extension in Decky Loader for similar functionality.
