Is anybody else dealing with this? In game mode updates install normally, but if I go into desktop mode, updates stall and never finish downloading. And unfortunately you don't get to install desktop updates from game mode.
My internet connection works fine on firefox, and is plenty fast, so it's not a connectivity issue. I'm not sure what's going on.
They should be, the Steam Deck updates system components separately through steam.
As a diagnostic step, you might wanna run flatpak update in a new Konsole window to see if there are any errors that Discover might not be telling you about.
