SteamOS

SteamOS got two new updates over the past 4 days, and while they were very small, they are nice updates to make using the Steam Deck much easier and nicer. The first update on the 20th (3.6.14) brought with it a security fix for Flatpak and nested Desktop crashing on launch. Then, we had an even smaller SteamOS update that fixes a crash when trying to use the Magnifier Tool while Game Recording.

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

  • Security fix for Flatpak (CVE-2024-42472)

Developer
