Changing your Steam Deck's boot animation is a cool way to customize your device, and it's pretty straightforward! First, you need to enable Developer Mode in your Steam Deck's settings. Then, navigate to the Steam Deck's system files and find the boot animation file (usually named something like 'boot_animation.zip'). You can replace this file with your custom animation, but make sure it's the correct format and size. Restart your Steam Deck, and voila, your new boot animation should play!

I changed mine last week! Just make sure your custom animation isn鈥檛 too large; otherwise, it might slow down your boot time. Also, back up the original file, just in case you want to switch back or something goes wrong.

Honestly, just enjoy the default animation. Customizing boot animations sounds like a hassle and could void your warranty if you're not careful. Sometimes, the original is best.

Keep it original, folks. Custom animations are a neat trick, but messing with system files always carries a risk. Plus, the default animation has a certain charm to it, doesn't it?
