I’ve tried to search around the web for this issue, but recently, (sometimes) after I exit a game and get dropped back into the steamdeck UI, I can’t click on some interface elements. If I go to a community tab and click on a post, nothing happens, some UI elements like the search bar don’t register as well (but they make the sound when I try) but worst of all, many of the menu options, specifically the power menu, I can no longer click. So of course, I can’t shutdown or reboot without doing a hard shutdown. Anyone else experiencing this lately? On the latest stable build as of this reply. I’m fine with switching to beta but I don’t want to break DeckyLoader, which tends to happen on the SteamOS beta channel.

Edit: the only workaround i've found so far is to add Konsole to the steamOS as a launchable item, then go into Konsole and type the linux command for rebooting: sudo shutdown -r now

Thanks! I tried the workaround in that thread and so far so good

Haven't run into that issue myself, but I can confirm that Decky Loader has worked pretty well on beta for me. When steam updated their chromium version it did breaky Decky Loader for a day, but that's pretty much the only time in the past year that Decky broke on beta/main for me.

A few individual plugins might be broken, but I haven't really run into any.
