The following is a list of suggested flairs:
[Discussion] - General discussion.
[Help] - A request for help or support.
[News] - News about the deck.
[PSA] - Sharing important information.
[Game] - News / info about a game on the deck.
[Update] - An update to a previous post.

Some more Steam Deck specific flairs:
[Boot Screen] - Custom boot screens/videos.
[Selling] - If you are selling your deck.
These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
I use a PS5 controller paired wirelessly with my deck. I think the touchpad just worked for me with no extra settings (apart from picking a steam input configuration that supports it) but in practice I almost never use it for gaming.
Not sure what chiaki4deck is but I don’t believe it’s necessary for PS5 controller support.
Update: i may have installed something for gyro support at some point but it wasn’t chiaki4deck
Chiaki4deck is PS Remote Play for Linux. It's pretty nifty
