I do hope they focus a bit on the UI going forward - we've noticed a lot of silly little bugs while either using the Steam Deck controls or a controller.

A little hard to close a window without focus when using a controller....

Also I literally can't get it to use a plugged controller when docked. Sure, it will charge it and I can pair it with Bluetooth and it works, but it's a little silly that I can't just use it as "pure" USB controller (even though it works flawlessly in that way on multiple PCs, including a Linux desktop, and through weird peripherals like my monitor's USB hub).

Streaming games on the home wifi is also basically non-functional in the OS, even though it works pretty damn well when I do it through Moonlight. I'm assuming the steam version doesn't do enough compression (and yes I have tried tweaking the settings)
