System password In case anyone isn’t familiar with changing user passwords on most Linux/Unix systems: By default, the deck user doesn’t have a password set, meaning you can’t perform any tasks requiring sudo privileges. To enable, simply open the terminal and type passwd. You’ll then be prompted to create a new password. Sorted! % passwd Screen lock Note that you’ll have to set a password for the deck user (or any other user you may have set up) before doing this. https://arr.to/2022/11/06/steamdeck-notes/ Sun, 06 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://arr.to/2022/11/06/steamdeck-notes/ I’ve been very lucky to be able to buy a Steam Deck as a replacement to my PC, which I’ve wanted to replace the CPU of for some time. I opted for the eMMC model and replaced it with a 256GB NVMe SSD that I already have, which put the Steam Deck in at just a bit more expensive than replacing the CPU alone on the PC. Lower power usage is a welcome benefit with energy costs going up so much!
