My only real complaint with my Deck has been the frustration of trying to use the On-Screen keyboard in desktop mode. Often when I open it using the Steam Button + X hotkey, it launches Big Picture Mode instead of giving me a keyboard.
Is there a way to disable BPM from opening at all? I know on PC and Linux you can do so, but I can't find the option on my deck.

And I was using only X in Game mode because that is how you open it in desktop mode.

My god you're right, X on its own does work.
I've been using the Steam button this whole time since that's the hotkey shown in gaming mode.

The default desktop mode layout opens keyboard just by pressing x I believe, and if it doesn't you can customize the desktop layout to set a different keybind for keyboard. I haven't actually seen it open big picture mode from pressing steam+x at all, I'm curious if anyone else has encountered that.
