Same thing happened to me, but I only remember it happening when I was on Bazzite. Are you running something that's not SteamOS?
Steam Deck
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
As Lemmy doesn't have flairs yet, you can use these prefixes to indicate what type of post you have made, eg:
[Flair] My post title
The following is a list of suggested flairs:

Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:

These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
- Follow the rules of Sopuli
- Posts must be related to the Steam Deck in an obvious way.
- No piracy, there are other communities for that.
- Discussion of emulators are allowed, but no discussion on how to illegally acquire ROMs.
- This is a place of civil discussion, no trolling.
- Have fun.
Only regular SteamOS.
So, that particular problem was fixed for me when I went back to SteamOS from Bazzite, which required me to reimage the entire device.
Thus, my two suggestions are:
- Download the SteamOS recovery image and reinstall SteamOS.
- Use the recovery image to reimage the entire Deck (factory wipe).
Try this:
Enable developer mode (settings>system)
Then open the developer menu (settings>developer) and turn on "Show Advanced Update Channels"
Now go back to the System category and you should have separate options for OS Update and Steam Client. Make sure they're both set to stable.
If they're already stable, change the client one to beta, and then back to stable.
I'll try that, thanks
