With Valve moving SteamOS and the Steam Deck's Game Mode UI to support other handhelds like the Legion Go S, and maybe even Desktop at some point, it makes sense why they would be changing this. (emphasis mine)

Isn't this what Big Picture Mode already is?

i'm presuming it'll be big picture mode but less shiiiiiiit

like yeah big picture mode works well enough but it's definitely rough around the edges, for instance it doesn't much like it when you switch to and from steam in big picture mode.

Pretty sure it'll be the same as with Steam Deck: The Big Picture UI running inside Gamescope.

It's already possible to do that on other Linux distributions manually.
