Rules:
Nothing can happen using Decky Loader and you don't have to load the bleeding edge plugins if you don't want to. It all up to you which plugins you use. It's one of the most useful tools for the Deck. The plugins you use could be really basic, like helping you change icons on the games, reach menu for Bluetooth without going into settings, getting HowLongToBeat stats on your game info, etc. It's all very handy and extremely easy to set up. YouTube is your friend on this one.
You should also check out CryoUtilities. It's not going to be for you if you don't wanna use third party apps right now. But at least check out his youtube video explaining the tool anyway. You will find it interesting and learn quite a lot even of you don't install the software.
I'll check it out and how officially supported the plugin system is. If it's not supported I don't really want to do it because I want things to be very stable for when I test games in development. I also don't want something to break and create hassle.
Nothing about Decky will be an issue. It's been around for very long. It's never crashed, always worked and never created any hassle for me. And I've used it for about 6-7 months. Hell it might have released just weeks after the Deck was, I'm not sure.
