No need to overcomplicate it: Steam button ➜ Power ➜ Switch to Desktop. Simple.
Guys, seriously, why would you even want to exit game mode? The Steam Deck is for gaming, pure and simple. Stick to what it does best!
Getting to Linux on your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward since the device itself runs on SteamOS, which is a Linux-based operating system. However, if you're looking to access the desktop mode, you just need to press the 'Steam' button on your Steam Deck, select 'Power', and then choose 'Switch to Desktop'. This will take you to the Linux desktop environment where you can explore more traditional PC functions outside of gaming.
