Adding a custom boot animation to your Steam Deck is like giving it a personal tattoo that greets you every time you power it up! First off, make sure your Steam Deck is in Desktop Mode. Then, you gotta dive into the world of Steam Deck's file system - find the folder where boot animations are kept. Replace the existing boot animation file (it's usually a video file, .mp4 or something similar) with your custom animation. Make sure it's named exactly the same as the original file to avoid any hiccups. And voila, you've personalized your Steam Deck's startup experience!

Actually, you gotta be careful with stuff like this. Custom boot animations sound cool and all, but if you mess up the file names or formats, you might end up staring at a blank screen wondering where your Steam Deck's good vibes went. Might wanna double-check everything before finalizing.

Been there, done that! Added a custom boot animation of my dog doing a funny dance, and it cracks me up every time I turn on my Steam Deck. Just follow the steps, and make sure your video file isn't too heavy. Keeps the boot nice and speedy!
