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.

    Steam game updates or flatpack updates (updates from the desktop store outside of Steam)?

      All the Linux updates, not the game updates. I don’t know if they’re all flatpak, but I have tons of them waiting to update

        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.

          SteamOS updates can also be done by Discover now. But I would assume his problem is the flatpak updates.

          To fix flatpak issues, there is a flatpak repair command.
