Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Many of the vdf files have different encodings, making it pretty difficult to make third party software for the Steam Deck. Specifically the Shortcuts.vdf file has an encoding of 'data' and has many unparseable characters.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
find ~/.local/share/Steam -type f -name "shortcuts.vdf" -exec file {} + to view shortcuts.vdf encoding
find ~/.local/share/Steam -type f -name "*.vdf" -exec file {} + to view all encodings
