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

Decky, Powertools, and other plugins are great, but don't do it on your first day! I tried setting up Powertools on my first day (when it was late at night and I was already tired) and ended up stressing myself out. Powertools and other plugins are much more refined now than when I started, but even so, I think you should get used to your Deck for a day before trying out plugins.

Once you're ready, give Decky a try, it's awesome!
