Valve has now released the latest SteamOS 3.5.1 Preview for download, fixing up some more issues in the Steam Deck OS like the backlight staying on when docked.
To update to this version you need to be in the Preview branch of SteamOS updates via Settings > System > System Update Channel. Like shown in the below picture:
The full update notes are below:
General
- Fixed a case where an SD card with filesystem errors would be mounted as read-only.
- Fixed the custom performance overlay presets file inheriting the default settings from the steam presets.
- Fixed internal display rotation being erroneously reported to the game.
Firmware 118
- Actually added undervolting controls.

I'm as unbrony as you can be, and have never even seen any of the show. But even I plan on getting the My Little Pony pinball table on the new Pinball FX game.

Also, John de Lancie is cool, and he voiced one of the characters on the show and also the documentary about bronies. lol
