SteamOS

A new SteamOS beta update was released with some neat fixes that should make it better to use on the Steam Deck and some other handhelds. There was a WiFi regression that was fixed on the Steam Deck OLED, while wake-on-bluetooth has been disabled on the LCD for the time being. We also have support for the new accessibility settings, including the color filters and screen reader, and visual corruption with sharp upscaling on HDR applications has been fixed.

We also have added power button support for a multitude of different handhelds, including AYANEO, AYN, GPD, MSI, ONEXPLAYER, and OrangePi devices. And an issue with the Legion Go S losing trackpad functionality after sleeping should be fixed up as well.

You can download the update yourself in the System Settings on the Steam Deck. Make sure your update channel is set to Beta or Preview.
