Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

YES! I bought a 64GB model thinking that I could just use the MicroSD card for everything as my gaming needs aren't very demanding, however between EmuDeck, ProtonUp-QT and Shader Caching, I essentially had no storage left to do anything, and it was becoming a bit of a problem. I upgraded my Steamdeck with a Solidigm 1TB P41 Plus: Photograph of the Solidgm P41 Plus SSD At the same time, I did a backplate swap with the JSauX Transparent Back Plate PC0106: Photograph of the JSaux Transparent Back Plate PC0106 installed on a steam deck And I reinstalled SteamOS from scratch using a USB Stick following the Steam Deck Recovery Instructions article by Valve: A photograph of a steam deck performing the re-imaging, re-installing the Operating System from a USB stick. The whole process went great as a whole. No real performance difference to report but I am experiencing a weird bug where SteamOS reports that it is "offline" when I am in fact, connected to the Internet. The bug resolves itself after a few minutes and I have noticed no other networking related issues to speak of... ๐Ÿค”

I've started having the same network bug lately, I think it's just software update related and not anything to do with physical changes you made.

๐Ÿ˜… This makes me very relieved to hear! I figured that if it was a hardware issue that I would notice it in other applications such as streaming games.
