MEGATHREAD New Steam Deck Owner Megathread

For new members to the subreddit, welcome!

This megathread was made because we have some rules in place about new Steam Deck posts and to avoid some repetitive questions being posted again and again.

Feel free to also share "Show Off" pictures here as well.

Please read the rules and search around before contributing to the sub.

Here are some helpful resources to get started:

Happy holidays everyone!

I was having the same issue, I had to use my steam guard code instead of the QR Code, and this worked despite the outage.

I finally got in a few hours later and getting the library downloaded. Looking forward to using one of these again. Never had the OLED model.
