Most distros will run games just about the same as any other. No point waiting for SteamOS like it's the golden egg.

I use Mint btw.

Buts its unique Gamescope is hard to recreate

Thats very wrong. Its hard to get just gamescope as Login together with steam and think everything works.

I am unsure what was missing but many people get low fps when doing it by themselves while the steam deck works fine.

I’ve only used it with Heroic and had no issues

No issues doesnt mean there is no difference. Its still not the same at all.

What am I missing that I don’t realize is missing

Seems like, to have the exact same thing, you need to is set this up.

But idk what my brain really wants. It still feels like the Steam Deck has less issues with ganescope than some people on their hardware. Maybe I also have read that stuttering is solved when using a tty instead of Desktop to put Gamescope on.

I really dont know if you used Gamescope on your Desktop or not. But I also experienced wrong keyboard mappings and inability.

Additionally, on a Desktop, you will have some Latency added but its not noticable.
