Just a heads up, factory resetting your Steam Deck wipes all your data. So, if you've got any game saves or screenshots that you wanna keep, make sure to back them up first. Learned that the hard way...
No need to reset. Just enjoy it as it comes. Most problems can be solved without going nuclear and wiping everything.
