I have a 'screenshots' folder on my laptop. I would like my steam deck to send the screenshots that I take on it to that same folder, or have it synchronized somehow. What is the best or most intuitive way of accomplishing this?

Syncthing works great for syncing the screenshots and also for autobackup of emulation save files.

Best to use this with an always-on NAS. This makes file transfer generally easier to and from the console globally.

For your m+KB issue, if you put the Steam Link app on your PC,it becomes and instant virtual KVM and works great for remote access and using it desktop mode too. Great for setting up emulation, custom posters in Steam, Lutris/non-Steam games.

I hope my tip has soothed the pain in your asshole......(title of my sex tape)

and also for autobackup of emulation save files.

I thought the advuce was to not use it for save files due to the risk of trying to sync while playing the game?

This may be true. I never had problems. But I never looked this up.

I remembered hearing some people set up timed syncs to avoid the issue. Like, only sync at 2am. Though that might not work when the Steam Deck is in sleep mode
