Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use my Steam Deck as my primary PC with a keyboard and mouse plugged in, and every time I boot into Minecraft two warning pages pop up about desktop mode and a decky plugin. It's a very minor issue but can be annoying when messing about with other mods which makes me restart Minecraft a ton

Describe the solution you'd like
Having a checkbox saying "don't remind me again" or something along the lines would be greatly appreciated

Describe alternatives you've considered
It'd also be nice if it didn't outright say "Steam Deck in desktop mode attempts to translate your controller into mouse and keyboard, and is required to use it in game mode"

While that is true by default, simply holding down on the start button for 1-2 seconds makes a short beep and disables the keyboard and mouse translation - essentially making it work as a regular controller, and you can of course go back to keyboard and mouse mode by holding the start button again. It'd be nice if that was shown for other people who don't know about that shortcut
