This needs fixing in desktop mode when the screen has been set to turn off (downloading games for example) yet the backlight stays on (not docked).
Im on stable but I see new drivers on their way 👁 :summer2019tire:

This is unlike the previous version (20220526), where some games could even be played passively (if unplugged of course, my understanding is that when charging, the fan has a min speed of 2000 RPM to keep the charging IC cooled).
Is the fan not turning off in this version intentional?
this is just a shot in the dark and you've probably already checked but I have had the 'updated fan controls' toggle in the settings revert after updates. I noticed due to a game that never needed fans all of the sudden started them up.
If in desktop mode I replace the 3 files that handle the fan control with the old ones from 20220502 (same as 20220526) and then restart the systemd service jupiter-fan-control.service it immediately takes effect and the fan drops to 0 RPM which drops my total system power to ~3.88W from ~4.05W.

What is the status of streaming from a Linux desktop to the Deck? When I test this I see a game wallpaper on my Deck, audio goes over both machines and the controller actions aren't working.
