Short and sweet: Just press and hold the Power button, then hit 'Switch to Desktop'. It's like magic, but real.

To switch your Steam Deck to desktop mode, simply hold down the Power button for a few seconds until the power options come up. Then, choose 'Switch to Desktop' from the menu. Boom, welcome to desktop city, population: you!
