To get SteamOS back on your Steam Deck, you'll need to create a SteamOS recovery drive. First, grab a USB drive (16GB or larger is ideal) and then head over to the official Steam support page. They've got a section dedicated to Steam Deck recovery. There, you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to download the SteamOS image and how to flash it onto your USB drive. Once that's set, plug the USB into your Steam Deck, reboot the device, and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall SteamOS. It might sound a bit techy, but it's actually pretty straightforward if you follow the steps carefully.

Honestly, just download the SteamOS image from the official site and flash it onto a USB. Plug it in, follow the prompts, and boom, you're back in business. No need to overcomplicate things.

I messed up my Steam Deck OS trying out custom stuff and had to reinstall SteamOS. It's surprisingly simple. Go to the Valve website, download the image, flash it, and install. The UI guides you through. It's like the device wants you back gaming asap!
