Now I'm thinking about getting another SD Card....

That's clever, and cheap. But I still think this is a better solution, if you're using the default carrying case and you have access to a 3D printer:

Here's something I found that may be useful if you have access to a 3D printer. It's a little carrying case for the power cord, and even includes a few microSD card slots. The 3D-printed case goes in the little cavity behind the elastic strap of the Deck Carrying Case.

This is the one on using a NAS. The actual post with the instructions can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/wu044l/comment/il6xlti/

I finally got around to attempting this, but I got stuck pretty early on. I copied and pasted the first script and when I run it I get prompted for a password, but it will not accept the password I set using `passwd` so I'm not really sure what to do.

I got it working, sort of. No matter what I tried it wouldn't accept my password. So then I replaced the `kdesu -c` command which causes a GUI password prompt to pop up with regular old `sudo` and was able to create the directories and mount the SMB if I ran the script from Konsole. But I also had problems getting it to accept my Windows login details, so I actually couldn't mount the SMB until I changed the shared folder settings from Windows to allow anybody to access it, even if they didn't have a username and password.

Then I had the bright idea that I could try just sharing my Steam directory on my Windows PC instead of trying to share a separate folder and possibly duplicate some of the games being installed, so while I was messing around with that, I decided to try `kdesu` again and suddenly it started accepting my root password. No idea what changed with it, but now at least the Linux side of things is working as advertised in that post. I'm still not sure what I was doing wrong with my Windows username/password combo, but I suppose that will be for another day.

I've been trialing controllers for use with my steam deck, and the steel series I use on my desktop isn't working, so I got a Ps5 controller, and it's pretty good, though I'm getting some strange behaviors on certain games.

I tried an Ouya controller fairly early on and the mappings were all wrong. After that I tried a Nintendo Switch Online SNES Controller and it had similar issues where the mappings were incorrect. Since then there have been notes in the Steam Update Logs saying support for NSO controllers was added, but I just tested it and I'm still having trouble getting about half the buttons to register properly.
