Is the performance for docked games better in game mode or desktop mode? Let’s say CS:GO - would the performance (docked) be better in game mode (resolution set in properties to 1080p) or desktop mode (1080p)? Thanks.

How do you use your Steam Deck docked?

    Definitely desktop mode. Its a smoother transition to switch to desktop mode then plug into the dock then when done unplug and back to game mode.

    I even renamed the shortcut ‘handheld mode’ cause it makes more sense to me. Alt tabbing and multitasking is critical and I just prefer the experience with how fun customising KDE is.

      I disagree as in desktop mode you will be using X11 and will not have access to the features that gamescope provides. So I would still game docked in Game mode.
