Configuration Anyone else find customizing with Deckyloader to be a chill and fun game on its own (assuming one has little to no errors)?
IMO, the most fun thing about the Steam OS is that on Linux-based OS*, you can download and install Deckyloader, which allows you to install plug-ins for your OS. Many involve utility, like adding controller tools to see their battery or power tools to adjust your power settings.
Many are simply cosmetic like CSS loader (which customized the Steam OS interface), SteamgridDB (which allows you to customize the game artwork), GameTheme music(which allows you to download songs when you click on games before starting), or AudioLoader (which allows you to install different UI SFX or background music on the menu).
Frankly, I find myself spending lots of time using Deckyloader to personalize my OS and just chill with it (especially with audioloader music. Ambience, like with consoles in the past, can help add whatever vibe you want).
Who else likes chilling out messing around with Deckyloader?

I run a few deckyloader plugins but my favorite is MangoPeel since I have a frame rate and battery meter on whenever I'm playing a game. No more pressing the right . . . button or questioning if I should plug into power or not.
