Clearing the shader cache on your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward! Just go to your Steam Deck's settings, navigate to the 'System' tab, and you'll find an option for 'Shader Pre-Caching'. Within that menu, you should see an option to clear the shader cache. It’s like telling your Steam Deck to forget everything it learned about graphics and start fresh. This can help with performance issues or if you’re running into graphical glitches.

Honestly, just reboot the thing. Sometimes the simplest solutions work best and clearing the cache is as good as done when you power cycle.

Been there, done that! When I cleared my shader cache, my games ran smoother. It's like giving your Steam Deck a mini spa day. Highly recommend doing it if you're facing weird graphics or slow load times.
