Hey there, my Steam Deck just arrived (after ordering on Friday morning!) and I've been messing around with it but running into some issues and wondering if anyone else has:

I got Decky Loader installed, but when I tell it to install plugins it doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried using Non Steam Launchers to install EA & Amazon games, and it seems to work (it gives me the success message) but then there is nothing in Steam. I even tried installing the EA App separately using guides online and I even got it installed but then when I try to run the launcher it just says the services were disconnected and refused to do anything. Super frustrating, especially since I just want to play Fallen Order which I only have through my EA account.
And finally, has anyone had any success getting their PC Xbox library on the Steam Deck? I got the 'cloud gaming' thing working only to find out that's not what I want to play a game in my library.

On the other hand, Heroic Launcher worked great for getting my GOG and Epic games on there! Having a blast with it already. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I've seen Lutris mentioned a few times so I'll have to give it a try. Unfortunately, I can't do the cloud steaming since I don't have a game pass, I simply bought FH4 on a sale one time.
