Got a Steam Deck on the way, anything I should know before I dive in when it arrives?

    1. Install Heroic Game Launcher for Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
    2. Install ProtonUp-Qt. It is a tool to install different version of Proton (GE).
    3. Install EmuDeck. It is a Emulation Suit for the Steam Deck. It includes various emulators.
    4. Maybe avoid installing plugins at the beginning. Make sure your Steam Deck is working properly first.
    5. Play Games (?).

    Almost forgot, before everything, you should drain your battery all the way to 0% to recalibrate it.

    To do that, drain the battery to 1%, and turn it off. Turn your Steam Deck on holding the Vol- button, you should boot into the BIOS. Leave it until it turns it self off.

    Now charge it until completely full.
