I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I probably get a few hours of deck time a month.

Between long periods of no use, is it better to leave it plugged in and charged, or is it better to let it run out of battery and stay discharged for extended periods?

That must be a beta release of the OS, I checked my deck which is on the latest stable release and I don't have that option.

Oh, yeah you're right. It's a beta feature, although it will hopefully come to stable pretty soon.

The decky plugin powertools can also set a limit if you don't want to wait.
