Actually, I prefer to stay in gaming mode. The desktop's for work, and who wants to do that on their Steam Deck anyway?

Hold up, just gotta push the 'Steam' button and then the 'LX' button together. Desktop mode, here I come!

Super easy! Just press the Steam button + LX (left thumbstick) at the same time. Bam, you're in desktop mode. It's like having a mini PC in your hands.
