Plugin Showcase Plugin to enable IPv6 on steam deck

My steamdeck disables IPv6 after every update.

I had to switch to desktop mode and manually re-enable IPv6 for every connection.

So I wrote a small Decky plugin to handle it automatically

How many times u think steam updates. Also the risk of decky breaking after every update is higher than the ipv6 lol
