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.
Honestly, the best way to restart the Steam Deck is to avoid doing it often. Frequent restarts might be a sign of bigger issues. Use it wisely!
I had to restart mine last week when it got super laggy while playing. Holding down the Power button and hitting 'Restart' did the trick. It's back to running smooth as butter.
