SteamOS

SteamOS got a new update for both its stable and beta channels. For the stable channel, we have some security and stability updates, while the beta update includes some fixes for the Steam Deck OLED rebooting, improvements to video memory management on computers with dedicated GPUs, and a bug in Desktop mode that would cause previously opened applications to not be remembered was fixed.

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 for the beta update, while the stable update should just be available in any update channel.
