Following on from the big release of Steam Game Recording in the stable Steam Client, there's a new smaller Beta available for Steam Deck and Desktop.
On the Steam Deck side there's this fix that's specific to the Deck: "Fixed a case where WiFi power management settings could fail to be applied at startup.". I did notice quite a few people recently noting WiFi issues since the SteamOS 3.6 stable update so perhaps this will help.
And the rest of the changes from the Desktop changelog:
General
- Fixed a potential startup crash on systems with an AMD GPU.
Game Recording
- Fixed an issue with the layout of the recording player in Big Picture.
- Updated the Game Properties Game Recording tab to more accurately reflect the current state of the Game Recording feature.
Steam Input
- Fixed a case where a controller could not show up in the UI the very first time it was connected for an account.
Steam VR
- Fixed an issue with certain keys on the keyboard causing unexpected behavior.
- Restores single-click Exit VR functionality
- Fixed an issue where the Linux VR interface would show the incorrect UI

Not specifically related, and I don't even think this is a thing Valve could fix, but it's infuriating how my Deck refuses to connect to any of my mesh nodes bar one, which sits in a room as far away as possible from anywhere I play my Deck.

WiFi is the thing that has never been very reliable on my SD.

Steam is crashing a lot after this update, sometimes the overlay don't work, sometimes steam crash and refuse to open.
Not sure if it's exclusively a steam problem, I'm having some annoying issues on the latest fedora, maybe there's something related to.

Anyone else been getting a really laggy interface when on Steam Big Picture Mode? I use BPM frequently for local coop at home. No other issues; games run fine, PC runs fine, hardware shows no outlandish % utilisation or temperatures. Just seems like a 20 FPS cap on big picture mode added in an update or something. Not enough of an issue that I remember it to research past my local coop sessions, but a tiny bit irritating.
