As I’m not a fan of the new Steam UI, I added the -vgui launch parameter to Steam on my laptop to revert the UI to how it was before. As trying to do this on the Steam Deck in desktop mode told me I didn’t have sufficient permissions, I tried it again after using Konsole to take ownership of the Steam shortcut, however even then my attempts to add -vgui to the Arguments tab of the shortcut’s properties are not being saved. Does anyone know how to make Steam launch with the old UI in desktop mode on the Steam Deck (without using Windows)?

    Had to use sudo to do it, but it worked. No message about permission issues appears when I try to save the changes to the Arguments tab anymore, but they still don’t save when I reopen the permissions window either.
