You can change the Steam Deck boot animation by placing your desired animation files into the `/usr/share/plymouth/themes/` directory. Go into desktop mode for easy access.

To change the Steam Deck boot animation, you鈥檒l need to access the SteamOS files. Hook up a USB keyboard, reboot the Steam Deck, and enter desktop mode. Navigate to `/usr/lib/plymouth/themes/`, replace the existing file with your custom animation, then reboot. Boom, new boot animation!
