Steam Deck Beta Client Updates 7/24/23 - 7/28/23

Over the last 5 days, we had 3 new updates come to the Steam Deck Beta Client branch. These are all small, focusing more on some minor, general fixes, but they are welcome all the same. Through them, we have fixes for controllers, improved navigation in Steam Input's preview screen, fixed notifications when offline, better library performance for large collections, and a fix for wallet balance not updating when it hits 0.

Steam Deck Beta Client Update 7/24/23 Changelog:

• Fixed changing effects on PS4 and PS5 controllers when Steam Input is not enabled
