I’m trying to connect to my Steam Deck’s desktop mode from my Windows PC so I can manage files, but I’ve run into a lot of challenges. I really want to avoid AnyDesk and NoMachine since they have become complicated or have costs associated with them. I’ve spent the last two days attempting to find something simple to use, but most guides are outdated and use jargon that’s hard for me to understand. Are there any straightforward step-by-step instructions available for someone who’s not tech-savvy?

I recommend trying Rustdesk. You can find it in the software center of the Steam Deck’s desktop mode, and I’ve had a smooth experience with it. It’s quite easy to set up!
