How Do I
sudo
There is no default password for sudo on the Steam Deck 256GB LCD model. By design, the "deck" user has no password set initially, which prevents sudo from working until you create one.
Open Konsole (terminal app) while in Desktop Mode and use the 'passwd' command to create a password. Just type: passwd (and press Enter)
search for file
The locate command and updatedb are not installed by default on SteamOS. Use the find command instead, which is available without installation.
