I bought a steam deck this Christmas. In desktop mode selecting a file with long click freezes the file Explorer if you don't click anything in the menu that pops up. And the track pad randomly stops working in desktop mode.
You might want to try a factory reset or make a warranty claim, as none of the SteamDecks I've used do that.
It's not a big deal. The track pad issue can probably be solved by some config, maybe steam doesn't always launch when I open desktop mode. And the file selection will probably be fixed in a update. At least when the windows becomes unresponsive I can still close it with the X and it open up a new window in the same spot. Also I don't move around files a lot. The gaming experience is basically flawless. I would probably spend more time fixing these issues than they cost me.
I found the issue with the desktop track pad suddenly not working. I played on my main PC with a steam controller and apparently didn't add a non steam game to my library, so editing my controller setting also applied that edit to my deck.
