I just want to be able to download games in the background with the screen off. My internet is crappy at times and I don’t really like leaving the screen on overnight just to download a game or two.

A "finish downloading this, then turn off" feature would certainly be a nice addition.

Doesn't that exist already? If I leave the deck on downloading a game it will turn off after.

I switch to Desktop mode, change the power settings to have the screen turn off, but disable auto-sleep, and then just let the Desktop Steam download the updates.

I agree, it's a bit annoying. Maybe you could put it in desktop mode, and configure it to turn screen off but not go to sleep? It'll still do updates then.

I heard that this works on desktop mode, but never tried myself

You can sorta do it with a shutdown +90 terminal command (or whatever you estimate the time to be).
