Restarting your Steam Deck is super simple! Just press and hold the Power button on the top of your Steam Deck for a few seconds. A menu will pop up, giving you options like 'Shutdown', 'Restart', and 'Sleep'. Just tap on 'Restart', and you're good to go! It's pretty much like restarting a smartphone.
