Using a Browser in Desktop Mode to Connect

Desktop Mode on the Steam Deck gives you a full Linux desktop environment, including a web browser. This is perfect for dealing with captive portals.

  • Switch to **Desktop Mode**.
  • Connect to the Wi-Fi network.
  • Open the **Firefox** browser.
  • Navigate to `http://nossl.sh`.
  • Log in through the portal page that appears.

Why do I need to use Desktop Mode?

Desktop Mode gives you access to a standard web browser, which is more capable of handling the variety of login pages that captive portals use. It makes the process much more straightforward.
