    “I followed some guide online for a completely unrelated issue because it said it could make my games go faster and I rm -rf’d something important looking”

    Deck and Linux are great because they give you the power to customize anything, but with that power comes responsibility, and I think OP is learning that. Without diagnostic logs or chat logs, I can almost guarantee if they just flashed it and started over it’d be fine but from this thread I doubt OP even knows how to do that (which is completely fine and normal, if they had asked for help on how to do that rather than be a snobby jerk)

      "First step in this guide is to poste.the following code into a console

      echo /dev/null > /etc/Pulseaudio.conf

      Title of the guide:

      You won’t believe this! Steamdeck at 144fps in BF2042 by doing this simple trick!

      And claims to improve performance by resetting the whole audio system to a sloppily cobbled together ALSA config.

          Oh, sry, I didn’t count entering “su” and thus doing everything as administrator for no fucking reason as a step of it’s own since that is mandate for bad guides

            ah right right right in this case it makes sense. Sudo just gets in the way, stupid valve and their warnings and protections, just do everything as root! We joke because we were all like that once, and you only gotta destroy your bootloader once to learn

            I’ve been doing Security+ training and they have you do everything as root, which goes against the very principle of least privilege.
