A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was pushed out today! This one has a decent amount of fixes ranging from general issues like the inability to click on Steam notification toasts, to Desktop Mode fixes like fixing flickering with the game list and adding a setting to let a user decide whether "Ready to Play" includes streaming and whether the local computer should be default.
