I Built a Bootable USB Flasher for Steam Deck! | RGS ISO Flasher Tutorial
Hey everyone,
I recently built my own bootable USB flashing tool called RGS ISO Flasher for Steam Deck and Linux.
I originally made it because I wanted a simpler way to create Windows and Linux bootable USBs directly on SteamOS without dealing with complicated terminal commands.
Features:
- GUI-based
- Steam Deck compatible
- Windows ISO support
- Linux ISO support
- Automatic install.wim splitting for Windows installers
- Portable AppImage
- Auto sleep prevention while flashing
I also made a tutorial video showing how to use it on Steam Deck.
GitHub:

Would love feedback from the Linux/Steam Deck community 🙂

I’ve been working on a controller-first PC launcher for a while, and I just released the beta of Ether Launcher.
The idea was simple: make a Windows PC feel like a real console. No mouse, no desktop, just a smooth and immersive experience designed for handhelds and TV setups.
It features a PlayStation-style UI, full controller navigation, dynamic backgrounds, Steam Games detection (no need to connect your account), and an in-game overlay with quick actions and clip recording.
It’s still in beta, so I’d genuinely love feedback from people using Steam Deck, ROG Ally or HTPC setups.
You can check it out here: https://ether-launcher.com/
Happy to answer any questions or go deeper into the technical side if you're interested.

Xbox Mode on Steam Deck, controller very laggy in UI
Hiya! Basically title.
Games run smoothly in this mode, but navigating the main Xbox Mode UI is super laggy and buggy. Inputs will take a sec to actually register, and sometimes the interface will behave as if I'm pressing buttons that I'm not.
Windows seems to be having trouble with detecting/recognizing the controller--for example, icons for the Y and options buttons keep appearing and disappearing in the bottom-right of the screen, as if a gamepad is being picked up and dropped constantly.
I'm curious whether the Steam Deck Tools software that I had been using for Game Pass (considering Windows doesn't natively detect the Steam Deck controller) is not running properly. Maybe Xbox Mode is disabling some key component the software relies on, or maybe it's just conflicting somehow.
Has anyone else tried using Xbox Mode on the Deck since it was released, and are you experiencing similar issues?

Would be nice if Handheld Companion and the like had more options than ps4 and xbox controllers to emulate

I’m getting this error on FC26 tiny10, the games runs perfectly tho.. ive just been wondering is there any updates to avoid this warning? Im using the LCD official drivers for the APU, should I use the OLED one instead on my LCD deck?
Also if i do use the OLED drivers, do i have to delete the LCD drivers and than install the OLED’s or simply install them and it will overwrite on it’s own?
Lastly, will the OLED drivers get rid of this error? (Are they 23.19.0.0+ ?)

I just installed windows (dual booting through my main partition) And got FC26 on a discount on steam and it works great! Here’s all the info for future references:
-I’m using a debloated version of windows10 under the name « tiny10 23h2 » (I’m using win10 cause it doesn’t require secure boot enabled which if not enabled it may not launch the game cause of Easy Anti-Cheat)
-Using the official drivers for LCD model from steamOS page
-I also applied WUB (Windows Update Blocker) so simply no weird updates happen and ruin my bootloader (I’m using Clover to dualboot)
-as for the in-game settings I set everything to «LOW» and make sure to keep the Vsync on> half-rate (if you turn it off there will be massive tearing.)
I’m constantly getting a stable 60fps with some frame drops that hardly happen from time to time.
Experience is not bad at all, playable i’d give it 9/10.
