The long-awaited update to SteamOS 3.4 (incl. hotfixes 3.4.1 and 3.4.2) for the Steam Deck was released today in the "stable" channel.

Unfortunately, besides all the nice improvements, there is also a less nice change: hardware de- and encoding (for video streams) has been disabled with this update.
