Actually, it's way easier than it sounds to reinstall the Steam Deck OS. Just download the recovery image, flash it to a USB stick, and follow the instructions. Boom, like new!
Reinstalling the Steam Deck OS is like giving your device a fresh start! First, you'll need to grab the official Recovery image from Steam's website. Make sure you have a high-quality USB drive to create a bootable image. Plug it into your Steam Deck, boot into the device's Boot Manager by holding down the Volume Down button when you power on, and follow the onscreen instructions to start the reinstallation process. It might seem daunting, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you get going!
Not sure why you'd want to reinstall unless you're troubleshooting. In my experience, the Steam Deck works perfectly fine without needing a reinstall. Just make sure you're not fixing what ain't broke!
