Just out of curiosity, but when I modify my steamdeck to ALWAYS boot into desktop mode first (using the command ```/usr/bin/steamos-session-select plasma-wayland-persistent```) I noticed that my deck always turns on and enters the desktop WITHOUT asking for any password or anything! There is literally no security on the desktop whatsoever. I even tried setting a pin (in game mode), which doesn’t work when I try to boot into the desktop os on startup (it will work if I undo the effects of the command).
How can I start my steamdeck in desktop mode EVERY TIME while also ensuring that there is a login screen of sorts to ensure that it’s protected? Thanks for your advice!
You can have it prompt you for your user/pass but one of the drawbacks is that you have to use an external keyboard since the login manager doesn’t provide an on-screen keyboard.
If you’re ok with that, then you can look into the SDDM config file in
/etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.confDo you by chance know how to set up a whole login screen for the steamdeck? Or would I just have to go ahead and install another linux distro on a partition to get that effect?
