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.
A lockscreen does prevent a thief from using your Steam account… unless you can boot to desktop mode before typing in the password, haven't checked that.
Quick question: does the Steam Deck go into "auto-sleep"?
This can be configured to your liking. Especially in desktop mode.
Thank you
You can trivially set your own password when you take out the SSD or boot from an external medium.
