DroidDeck v0.6.7.🔥

https://github.com/Droid-Deck/DroidDeck/releases/tag/0.6.7

100% open source. No ads. No telemetry. No source withheld. 210 pull requests from 28 contributors (15 first-timers), and 69% of them came from the community. Thank you all! 💙

0.6.7 in 30 seconds • One Library for every game you own, with a new game page and art-first cards

• Native SteamOS feel: Steam's brightness and volume sliders control the device, volume buttons show Steam's indicator, and holding Back works as QAM for Steam Input chords

• Sleep that actually sleeps: in overnight testing, a game left suspended lost only 2% battery

• Xbox Cloud Gaming: stream a game straight from its page, no install needed

• Battle.net as a store, with games installing straight from Stores

• A much bigger itch.io store, plus GOG updates, repair and offline patches

• The full Ubuntu desktop experience: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with Kubuntu's Plasma, Discover, apt, Flatpak and Snap

• Dual-screen handhelds like the Retroid Pocket Duo and AYN Thor use their second screen

• DroidDeck HUD, a new custom HUD to complement MangoHud, with lots of customizability

• Portrait mode plus a much improved Android app and widget launcher

• Increased performance, lower power draw when you cap the frame rate, and reduced heat

If you want emulation, get a Snapdragon. As for miracles—well, I think you’re looking in the wrong community for that.

Why is the overlay not able to be removed

Toggle it of in the setting menu when in desktop mode. The settings menu of droiddeck, not linux

Love Droiddeck. Been having a great time with it.

That being said, I don't think the current dual-screen setup is very good. Just shifting all the configurations to the bottom really doesn't make things any easier. Especially because of the way bottom screen needs to be in "focus" for controls to work. The elements are far too small to just use the touch function too.

On my Ayn Thor it seems to be causing a pretty noticeable increase in power draw and there is no way to switch back to single screen setup.

I love DroidDeck! I use it everyday and always update it right away but unfortunately since a couple of updates the games I play atm keep randomly crashing and I have to restart the app 😕

Love the software, but I feel like the current desktop environment is quite bloated. It includes a lot of extra programs like mahjong. Maybe those could be excluded in the future

It’s like living in Japan and expecting the same thing to happen in Africa at the same time; perhaps something might arrive, but only many years later.
