steam-deck-tools VS winutil

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

This was the debloater tool I used on my Surface Go 3 - runs well, only minor side-effect was I needed to use an automatic fix to get defender working correctly: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

Back to WinUtil, the link above goes to Chris's most recent YouTube video on the script. Here's a link to the project on GitHub as well, if you want to inspect the code or ask the devs and contributors questions before running it. I recommend this script to everyone who I hear complaining about Windows being bloated and slow. It fixes almost everything that I hate about Windows, to the point that after using it I actually consider Windows to be an acceptable operating system to be running full time on one of my laptops.

Stuff has been uninstalled from Settings and Control Panel and CTT's Utility (to enable some settings I would've enabled through Terminal commands already) and Sycnex's Debloater (to uninstall some apps) have been used. It's nothing major as I only uninstalled apps I could download from the store if necessary and made sure not to delete any major system components except Edge maybe. I have read through every menu and setting any of these utilities has brought up thoroughly to ensure I didn't do so. I believe I did my research before enabling/disabling a setting.

You can use Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

The Tweaks section has a checkbox for removing Edge. I removed mine using that.

Humbly submitting Chris Titus' Debloat tool as well for comparison. I've enjoyed using Chris' tool, as the GUI design makes it easy to a-la-carte select which you want removed and not, along with recommendations. Makes it very clear to see what's being removed.

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.
