How to SSH into Steam Deck
First off, you'll need to enable Developer Mode on your Steam Deck. Head over to the Settings, go to System, and then toggle on Developer Mode. After that's done, open the Settings again, find the Developer tab, and look for the option that says 'Enable SSH'. Toggle that on too and set a password. Remember, this password is key to connecting later. With that set, SSH is enabled, and you can use any SSH client to connect to your Steam Deck using its IP address and the password you set. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility, so be careful with what you do in SSH mode!

SSH into the Steam Deck? Easy peasy. Just flip on Developer Mode, toggle SSH on in the settings, and don't forget to give yourself a solid password. Then, it's all about connecting via your fav SSH client with the Deck's IP and that password you wisely chose. Just tread carefully; you're in the heart of the machine now.
Honestly, unless you know your way around Linux commands, I'd steer clear of SSH-ing into your Steam Deck. It's cool and all, but a wrong command can lead to a not-so-fun time fixing things. Stick to the Steam Deck UI for a headache-free gaming sesh.
