either my steam deck is faulty, or this does not perform anywhere

ive been everywhere trying to find a fix for the absolutely abysmal performance of this thing, and nothing i try works. Ive been trying to get literally any game to play at an acceptable level at all on this thing, and its not working out. ive been through reddit, every backwater forum you can think of, all over the steam forums and ive got nothing to show for it.
