From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As a workaround, if you have a Steam Controller pressing the Steam button should bring up Steam and pressing it again should switch to Big Picture Mode. That's at least how it works on my Steam Deck in desktop mode.
If you have an Xbox or PlayStation controller you could try if their corresponding buttons work the same.
I might try that, the only issue is having it pop up on the right display, since my main desktop monitor I set as the primary. Presumably will need to script that anyway
