Is it kinda just common for games to crash to "desktop" on Deck? Had mine about 2 weeks, no matter if it's big, small, or dolphin emulated, games will randomly crash on me, and the Deck restarts itself.

If there's any known general settings that can stop the crashing, that'd be great.

Take it from me. I had the exact issue. I got my deck, and it immediately had that problem. It's a problem with power delivery to the GPU I believe. It can even be checked if you look at the kernel logs you'll see GPU error. Sorry to hear it's still an issue with decks. RMA that poor thing.
