Updated steam client, and the deck hangs after restarting. Was able to use the steam menu, power, then enter desktop mode. Steam client still hangs, but the rest works.
Launching with "steam -clearbeta" reverts to stable client and it works. Selecting again the "steam deck beta" channel, updating to the latest beta, and the hang is back.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. open the steam client
  2. Select settings->interface->client beta participation->"Steam deck beta"
  3. Update the client and restart it
  4. Wait for it to show the library (hangs here)

Thanks for the report.

This was an intermittent issue in the steam client which could become more common depending on how many non-steam games were present on the system (or other system you could stream from).

The next update to the to the steam client beta will contain a fix.

The latest patch today has fixed this issue for me. I'm in the preview channel (build 20231206.1).

Seems to be fixed on version 1702079146. Loads without issues both on gaming and desktop modes on the steam deck.
