However, this comes with a significant drawback: erasing user data. For those who have invested hours into their games, the thought of losing all progress is daunting.
This concern extends beyond gaming enthusiasts to anyone who uses their Steam Deck for work or accessing important files. In these cases, resetting one's device risks losing valuable data.
