A new Steam Deck Client update was released yesterday that has some solid improvements for Game Recording. We can now configure how long the instant clip duration is, while the default duration has been increased to 20 seconds. We also have a fix for native Linux games possibly running in the wrong runtime and a case where WiFi power management settings could fail to apply at startup.

You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck.
