*Like how much optimization did they do in SteamOS vs Linux in general?

Is SteamOS minimal changes just so it boots directly into the store and run everything full screen by default, or did they make deeper changes?

    In arch’s AUR there is also a neat package i’ve been using that I think is worth mentioning called gamescope-session that’s from chimeraOS. It skips loading a DE and just runs gamescope and launches steam in the steamdeck UI.

        I use SDDM and it does appear in the drop down menu next to the Wayland option. Also can be set in it’s config file. So ive been thinking about using a script that uses systemd’s soft-reboot and edits that config for quick swapping. Apparently the “Switch to Desktop” in the steamdeck ui is scriptable aswell to go back.
