If your AMD card is older than your latest linux distro release it's plug and play, no driver installation required
Wayland works pretty well on most desktop environments too

beware fresh released AMD cards in combination with long term release distros like Debian stable, you most likely will need the driver from the AMD website (not recommended)

the OLED version has a more efficient CPU and fan resulting in a quieter fan noise
if you only play with headphones or only play lesser graphical games like Slay the Spire or Brotato you probably barely would notice the difference though

Charging control (80% charge/scheduled full charge if wanted) is available on my Pixel with CalyxOS
is it not available on the Fairphones?

It would be amazing if the runtime (per run) would be lowered
playing through three acts in one sitting is quite long, a runtime like Monster Train (40~90 minutes on non-speedrun time) would be pretty good

Arch Linux (like some other distros) also has a security tracker: https://security.archlinux.org/

because swap does other things than "extending" your physical ram

there is no shame in asking question especially if you already put in some effort yourself and mention what you already tried

Just a little heads up in case you didn't knew:
if you install packages like latte-dock from pacman (or build from source in this case) they will vanish with your next Steam Deck update because the Linux on the Steam Deck works quite different to a regular Linux installation

I wouldn't get so much hung up on latte-dock anyway since it is unmaintained since quite some time and doesn't even work on the latest KDE Plasma 6 (which SteamOS doesn't have yet but will come in the near future)
customizing the default Plasma Panel (right click on desktop > enter edit mode > add panel) is your best bet nowadays for a similar look

anyway if you are really dead set on latte dock you will need to "initialize" all public keys first from the Arch Linux and Steam developers until you actually can install anything on the package manager pacman

pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinux
pacman-key --populate holo

the last line is specific for SteamOS only

the init command probably only works in Debian nowadays givin it's a thing from the sysvinit era

Latte Dock users will need to say goodbye then

the new plasma 6 panel can be customized to pretty much a dock
the default tasks applets still isn't nearly as good though

in the right meme I believe the nvidia driver borked
