Not sure what’s not on Desktop for you. I’m on the Steam Desktop Beta and this all shows up on my Desktop Big Picture.
PS: These screenshots were made on a Windows PC which is why the Compatibility tab isn’t in the Game settings.
Valve completely redesigned Big Picture Mode for Steam Deck and SteamOS. They’ve been porting those changes over to Desktop Steam and even changing Desktop Steam’s UI slowly to match and make everything more consistant.
Non-Steam Games:
Steam Workshop:
Disclaimer: I have a theme mod installed which changes the color of some elements. Layout is the same though.
The sad part is that the upcoming administration might be stupid enough to try and implement this.
Sorry, hard to tell unless your ISP is blacklisted by them.
Here’s offline MHTML and PDF versions:

A bunch of websites operating as web apps would help explain the bloat. Great idea if somebody is navigating a good chunk of your website. Horrible idea if 99% of your traffic is people being linked to a news article and then leaving afterwards.
Last I heard, Firefox is making carve outs for some of the APIs that Mv3 is supposed to deprecate.
Valve employees have confirmed that the OLED display is incompatible with the LCD Deck’s Mobo. So you can’t upgrade just the screen.
Reddit Revanced says no!
It’s not stupidity. You need to invent the tools that are needed to make the tools that make the tools that make the tools that make the thing. China still hasn’t independently invented most of those tools yet, so they’ve been relying on finished tools from other countries. Being smart doesn’t wipe away the decades of research needed to make something. We all expect China to eventually be able to make an equivalent tool, but they’re working with a handicap of inexperience which was expected to take years of dedication to overcome. Which is why everybody is skeptical that China made this independently without outside help or knowledge.
It would probably involve needing to make a custom firmware for the controller in order to redirect it to a different server, and to reimplement its Wifi pairing.
I use Reddit ReVanced when I need to pop into a niche community that hasn’t moved elsewhere, and it barely makes it tolerable.
Recently at work they replaced the AEDs with new models that support Children, and have a Spanish guide mode, super nice. But they also are now connected to the Internet so that they report any usage and order a new set of pads automatically, plus it has a bright screen constantly cycling through advertisement of what the device is. Also for some reason the power button isn’t actually a power button, and just triggers the start-up process while calling back to base, just like touching the on-screen buttons or pulling out the pads will do.
What could go wrong?
HDMI came from the TV manufacturers and was earlier than DP. While DP came from VESA and Computer OEMs.
HDMI being in TVs gave it a far wider penetration in the consumer market, and so when people wanted to hookup their laptops and other devices to TVs, they’d need HDMI.
Ironically, as ports have been simplified to almost just USB-C on many devices, DP’s market share actually grows as it’s cheaper and easier to include for OEMs, and if the consumer has to buy an adapter anyway, it might as well be on their dime to pay for HDMI, rather than the phone or laptop maker.
And Developer Tools! :D
I guess mobile clients screw with their fingerprinting method. Also doesn’t work on Slide.
Seal is another option, and it uses YT-DLP on the backend, a fork of Youtube-DL.
Flatpak includes all the libraries Steam, proton, and games need to run, sandboxed and without having to mess with the ones installed more generally on your system. Can help prevent headaches and compatibility issues.
Yeah, but they’re coming to Desktop stable soon. Or you can switch to Beta and try them out. It’s up to you. Just wanted to show that Valve is addressing the issues with Big Picture Mode.
