    Ahhh, I misunderstood your earlier comment, my bad. Yeah, if I had a windows handheld, setting it up to boot straight into Steam Big Picture would be a no-brainer for me, just as a minor QOL thing.

    As for your other point, I don’t remember them saying that, but that’s pretty crappy they fell through on delivering on that promise. I’m just hoping as SteamOS/Linux gaming continues growing in popularity that developers just start putting more effort into native support.

      I have tried it but Big Picture mode in Windows is extremely limited because

      • Cannot change system settings (Power usage/fan-curve/FPS/Refresh rate)
      • Cannot add Bluetooth device (controller/headphone) within Steam; need to switch back to Windows
      • Floating windows interfere with application focus since there is no gamescope. You need to use the touchscreen from time to time which is annoying
      • No Decky Loader
