Hey folks 
I’ve recently started playing on the steamdeck, and it works great!
All you need to do is:
The only downside is the odd Botting accusation because typing is an absoloute chore… but steamdeck users will already be aware of this 
ps. I tried launching the client via bottles but had no luck but this way works just as well.
Using desktop mode is super smart because you get a sane controller layout by default and don’t need to faff about with getting the launcher AppImage to run inside game mode (I found using the --no-sandbox launch argument was necessary for that)
That’s pretty cool not going to lie!
I am playing with the Chromium browser in ‘gaming mode.’ I first tried using the Linux launcher by Pazaz (GitHub - LostCityRS/Launcher) but couldn’t get it to work in gaming mode. The launcher uses Electron to create an app, which is a really memory- and process-heavy framework (or so I’ve heard). I also noticed some lagging when using it.
I ended up installing Chromium and adding it as a non-Steam game to my library.
I also disabled KDE Wallet. I had an issue where it would pop up a window when I opened Chromium, and because of that, it just showed a black screen (in gaming mode).
Ps. If you’re using the game recording feature on your Steam Deck, I recommend switching to gaming mode. This way, you can prove you’re not macroing and also record if someone else seems suspicious. 
That’s a good shout!
Adding Chromium as a non-Steam game sounds like a smart way to get around the launcher issues. —I’ve run into similar hic-ups causing weird behaviour. Appreciate the insight, especially since i’m currently having to exit fullscreen mode any time i want to take a screenshot or type.
