Using the touchpad to access the small menu and toggling fast forward does not work for me

I downloaded Emudeck and it's great but I'd like to play my childhood classics with hd textures. How do I do that? (I use Emudeck and a SD card for the games)

I've just installed ProtonVPN on my Deck but it won't connect and tbh I don't want to touch anything in the console/tinker with that...how can I still use ProtonVPN?

My Steam Deck arrived and I even got a setup for it. My problem rn is that my keyboard has an american layout but I need to type german umlaute sometimes...how do I do that?

my Steam Deck's arriving soon and I'm kinda afraid about the SSD upgrade and the steps I have to do. Especially after hearing that some sticks/touchpads (I can't remember what) don't work immediately after booting into Steam OS with the new SSD.

Do you need to leave the Steam Deck open to download something on i.e. Firefox in desktop mode or will it just download perfectly in standby mode? I know that it's basically a PC and it should work but since I'm planning to get one I want to be sure.

hello I'd like to know if I can play League on the deck with a keyboard and mouse in docked mode.

I had an old MSI gaming laptop from 2016 which was amazing for me (I always had slow, 2nd hand laptops before) and now I've sold it and my PS Vita in order to buy a Steam Deck. I want to play Elden Ring, the Souls series, Sekiro and some indie games like Vampire Survivor. I also want to emulate games (Gameboy gen up to PS2 gen). Would that be a good investment or should I just go for a PC? I travel frequently because of my job.

Is it okay to ask for help in building a Linux gaming PC?
