Playstation, Xbox and Switch all download and install updates during sleep mode. Deck should be able to do that as well. If you're worried about battery life, only allow sleeping downloads when plugged in. Problem solved.
Agreed. I would take that also but currently it does not.
PCs can't do that. Only RAM gets power in their sleep mode.
Right, so, back to my original point...
The Steam Deck is a PC. That's why this solution is impossible for it. It's a hardware limitation.
I understand that. My original point was that they should update when shutting the device down.
