As title says, once Valve announced the OLED deck, I saw the refurbished originals go on a deep discount and figured it was time to buy in. So I ordered a refurb 512GB and I’m so excited for it to arrive! Been in a gaming rut for a long time now and, having never been a PC gamer, I’m look forward to checking out a bunch of games I’ve never played before.

What tips do you have for a first time Deck owner?

Any essential games I should be sure to get?

And finally, is it possible to get games I own on the Epic Games Store (I collected all their free games over the years) or Xbox Game Pass PC games on my Steam Deck?

Indeed it's that easy! Pop in the blank SD card, run emudeck setup and just make sure you select the SD card and not internal storage (it has a clear popup, hard to miss).

I believe FileZilla does have a Mac client, so it should work just fine for you! I just remembered though, don't get confused with FileZilla Server, I think that's unrelated for our needs.

FWIW, regular old SSH can to FTP/SFTP (internet file transfer, I just like having a good GUI.

Enjoy!
