Got a Steam Deck on the way, anything I should know before I dive in when it arrives?

Play games, not just tweak all the settings.

But that's the best part.

Yes - there's lots of stuff on the internet about tweaking settings for games. In my experience they generally run pretty well out of the box without doing anything.

Even controls I've mostly not had to do anything, only for a couple of games that are really not designed for console had to do any control scheme creation (e.g. FTL).
