I kick back and chill on my pc on my comfy chair. Deck was uncomfortable as hell.

There will be no messing about once the SD2 hits, I will be straight in there regardless of cost.

A SteamDeck 2 with a CPU that is as good or better than the Z1 Extreme?

Im kinda hoping it gets released with the next gen of Snapdragon X Elite. Whenever that is, battery life will be amazing.

P+C works fine with Proton 6.3-3 on the deck you then have to choose a controller option to use.

How do you make it use an older version of Proton?
Is this somwhere in steam or does it require fiddling?

Select game > cog wheel icon > properties and change there. You can also add different versions with proton qt-up in desktop mode.

Ta, so compatibility mode.

Shame, they missed a chance to auto-select a working Proton version, this is exactly the kind of fiddling you shouldn't have on a console .
Anyhow, seesm to work fine!

Just tried Audiosurf with version 7.0 like some suggest in ProtonDb but it still crashes on clicking play .

Considering the likely couple of years until Steamdeck 2 it could well do, depends how these new laptops fare but it's looking promising.
