Following on from the huge SteamOS 3.6 update for Steam Deck, Valve has put up SteamOS 3.6.20 Beta with a few more improvements.

Here's what's changed:

Fixed an issue where the updater could repeatedly revert you to the previous OS version if certain configuration files were user-modified.

Fixed an issue with taking multiple screenshots if Game Recording is on.

Improved performance in Metaphor: ReFantazio by up to 20%.

Available in the Preview and Beta channels via Settings > System > System Update Channel.

On the topic of game recording: i still did not find a way to record game-only audio. I can choose to include my microphone, but the voicechat (mumble) in the background get recorded, too. Currently i am running Linux Mint on Pipewire, but i cannot seem to find a way to isolate the different sources. Other than that, i really love this feature.
