I was looking forward to the new release for Linux but several issues made this update feel more like a downgrade for the Steam Deck. Here's some of my thoughts:

1. Fullscreen both not default and barely functional. There is seemingly no way to force fullscreen on startup, where this was a feature in the previous versions.
2. Gamepad functionality is a joke. It's true, you can use B to go back from a menu, or scroll through a row with left and right on a d-pad, but going up and down is clunky and unusable. There is also no way to easily go between home/search/etc or open the settings without using trackpads or touchscreen.
3. No way to intuitively close the app. In any other app/game/whatever pressing B (the back button) should and usually does eventually get you to a point where you are prompted if you want to close the program. This is not the case with Stremio. In fact, nearly every single way I've attempted to prompt the app to close has failed. Holding STEAM + B on the deck forces nearly any game or app to close, but doesn't nothing for Stremio. Using Steam input to bind a keypress to "force game shutdown" does nothing either. I am forced to open the overlay and select exit game which brings me to
4. Performance is now abysmal. The previous versions had zero issues using my GPU or resources of the steam deck, but the new update, for one reason or another, uses a crazy about of memory and gpu, and has on several occasions crashed (sometimes when attempting to open steam overlay).

I'm really not trying to complain for the sake of complaining but this newest update feels more like a downgrade and I wish it was better than what it is. I wonder if anyone else has been encountering these issues and if there's any way to fix or remedy some of these.
