just an info for anyone, how it is possible to break deck.
I torrented big file, down speed was around 5MB/s. left deck running until its get downloaded. since I have sleep timeout, after some time (10m) it went to sleep mode I assume. after waking up, deck did not reacted to any input.
I restarted and it never booted to UI anymore. booting using boot manager showed that /home could not be mounted and since it is a dependency for everything else, it stopped loading further.
I had no better idea just to clean account data and set up steam from scratch.
Not sure if /home could be repaired somehow, since I can not take out the disk.
regards
For future reference though, it's worth noting that the steam deck is basically a small portable computer, so if you plug in a live USB stick, you can boot it up and check your partitions and stuff in the same way you would a desktop/laptop computer.
