Useful new option: Steam Deck downloads with screen off

Valve added something new to the Steam Deck. From now on, you can download games and updates while the screen is off. It's best if you put the device to sleep or do something else. It simply stays connected to the Internet and pulls everything in the background, without the screen consuming power or getting hot.

Currently the feature is available in SteamOS-bèta. Valve says he'll come to the normal version later. You can choose whether the Deck goes into sleep immediately after downloading or stay active. That's how you control it.

Some minor improvements have also been made to the speed and stability of the system. The game library opens smoother and switch between menu’S goes smoother. For those who use his Deck as a handheld, this is a nice addition: downloads can continue while doing something else, so you can play immediately next time.

All in all, this update makes the device much easier to use. Big games and updates can enter without having to keep the Deck on continuously. Saves power, time and hassle, and makes the Deck more flexible, whether you play at home or on the road.
