[Feature] Please add Yakuake to the base imagine
If you have used konsole in desktop mode, you have probably realized it's not very practical. Due to being a floating window it's constantly getting moved and likely covered by the on screen keyboard. Using a terminal on such a small screen will not be a great experience no matter what you do, but I think Yakuake can relieve some of these issues as it is always pinned to the top and the height can be adjusted around the on screen keyboard, and instead of being another floating window on the screen it nicely hides away while you are not using it and even keeps running in the background.
Current SteamOS version 3.3 beta
Including yakuake would definitely be a great thing. Just installing yakuake on the deck in desktop mode is right now giving me issues.
Adding my vote for Yakuake
In case this doesn't get added to the base image here's a way to easily install Yakuake: https://blogs.igalia.com/berto/2022/09/13/adding-software-to-the-steam-deck-with-systemd-sysext/
I added request on Flathub forum for Yakuake flatpak: https://discourse.flathub.org/t/yakuake-flatpak-request/2894
I haven't checked the details but this is probably not easy to package as a Flatpak app because you want a shell outside the Flatpak sandbox
