From first-hand experience, I initially found it distracting but learned to love the overlay for monitoring game performance. However, when I do want it gone for screenshots or less distraction, the quick settings menu is the hero. Just a few taps and it's like it was never there.
Easy fix! Just hold down the 'Steam' button to bring up the quick settings menu, then go to 'Performance' and toggle the 'Performance Overlay' option. This should turn off that pesky overlay showing CPU and GPU stats.
Honestly, just dig into the settings. The Steam Deck is pretty customizable, and you can usually find any option you need by poking around the different menus. If you're seeing performance stats on your screen, it's likely under the 'Performance' settings or similar.
