Maybe I just got unlucky but running an update today absolutely borked my Steam Deck running this build. Been running it smooth for a few months now, but after updating today I couldn't launch anything in game mode, proton or native. Worked fine in desktop mode, and if I let things sit for 5+ minutes in game mode they'd eventually launch sometimes. Spent a few hours trying to fix it until I just said fuck it, wiped the thing, and went back to SteamOS.
I swear by CachyOS for my desktop, but the handheld edition has given me more trouble than is worth, at least on the deck.
Edit: Opted for a fresh install before totally giving up and it seems to be fine now. Very bizarre but that's just how it goes sometimes
