steam-deck-tools VS SteamDeckAutomatedInstall

I use Steam Deck tools for windows for all my deck buttons and shortcuts https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools

It's friendlier than it looks! First download the latest Steam Deck Tools release from GitHubsteam deck tools, then install RTSSrtss so the overlay and quick menus work, and optionally follow thisvrr guide to get VRR working. Make sure they're all set to run on startup and you should be good to go. The options all live in the task bar, and you can easily toggle between desktop/controller mode and different fan profiles, refresh rates, etc. It takes some fiddling around to get perfect but it has most, if not all, of the functionality of the native OS

Are you sure you are actually using Windows on the deck? Because except for getting the controller working in 3rd party launchers (which needs this single tool: https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools) - there were absolutely NO errors / hurdles at all. Everything just works as expected.

I prefer Steam Deck Tools for Windows https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools this is free, and adds pretty much full Stream Deck functionality to Windows. Steam Deck shortcuts for bringing up the windows keyboard, closing apps, alt tabbing, bringing up an overlay, using the overlay to choose frame rate and scaling options, etc, etc.

Steam Deck Tools I launch Diablo hold start and swaps to controller mode.

Install https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools This gives you control of fans, power limits, controller/mouse mode, etc. Its an all in 1 tool

And I use Steam Deck Tools for Windows for everything else and it works great https://github.com/ayufan/steam-deck-tools

A better approach would be to start with a proper ISO downloaded directly from Microsoft and run a post-install script that installs any applications, drivers, and system tweaks you prefer. A similar project exists that I use and recommend for getting a fresh Windows install running on Steam Deck.

The only thing different here are some inbox apps are removed and Steam + assorted drivers are installed out of the box, all of which you can do with a community installer script and community tweaking tools.

This guide sends you to this page to install a script that installs everything you need

Based on the powershell scripts from CelesteHeartsong which are available here: https://github.com/CelesteHeartsong/SteamDeckAutomatedInstall

No. See the guide here. There is a automated install here.

I personally recommend SteamDeckAutomatedInstall post install. It automates the process of downloading and installing all the drivers and basic tools you need to get started.

I have also installed windows and have run this auto installer of all the things driver-wise: https://github.com/CelesteHeartsong/SteamDeckAutomatedInstall/releases
