Tokay actually it does change, but its like 10% of what the others change
Ttime to google
CIt might just be a small brightness range
RSo this game mode is an entire different session, different environment right. So I can't just fire up spotify/discord/teamspeak/whateveryouwant and then go play a game in game mode, because it ends my desktop session.
Pthere is some cursedness at play with how brightness is changed
RHow do people use this to multitask?
Pyou don't multitask in the game mode session
RWhat if I wanna look up some info about my game in a browser?
Retc
Poverlay browser
CSteam has a built-in browser
Psteam IS a browser
RYe na I'll delete the game mode and see if I can live without all its fancy features. Sounds like it's a lot more hassle than its worth.
Ttell that to the person who was arguing with me about big picture mode last night
Pjust install the normal image
Pthe game one is for literal gamers
Tand you can always leave game mode to use as a normal computer
CMaybe rebasing would be a good idea
Tor as they said use steam browser
REvery single gamer I know is always watching youtube, on spotify, on discord, all of the above at once, and looking up the latest meta on reddit.
Pif you don't plan on being a bonafide do nothing else but gaming person then there's no reason to limit yourself like that, and i suspect given your background you should know what needs to be done for games to run appropriately
RSo what, you open all of those in steam browser? :D
COn the go?
Pon your steam deck?
Ti mean you can yea
CThe browser supports multiple tabs
Ti have spotify as a non steam game
R:Facepalm:
Tand use the controller to use it
CYou can do simple multitasking by adding programs as games I believe
RThat's like scratching my right ear with my left foot..
Pyea installing the wrong image for your use sure is
Tthen just dont use it
CI imagine there's Decky plugins for Spotify controls and such things
Ti think so
RYeah maybe it should be mentioned somewhere ;)
Ttheres also decky plugin to pin websites
Pit's self-explanatory. you installed the image that's in line with how the steam deck works.
Pif you want it to work like a desktop you would install the desktop image
Tit also does explain when u pick the options
RNope, not mentioned anywhere. The entire steamOS thing or whatever you wanna call it, is not mentioned here. Anywhere. At all.
RNada.
RNot even by a longshot.
Pit might not explain it if you just blindly pick the GPD option but we're assuming most people are looking for the dumb route, not the you already knew it has upstream support route.
Pand you already know it has upstream support?
CUniversal Blue
Thanks for catching that. The information on the introductory documentation was outdated anyways, so I removed the link from here. Here’s the Introductory Documentation on the Wayback Machine archive if you are interested to see what it stated.

Tso u wanna use a handheld as a normal pc
RWouldn't be getting x64 if I didn't now, would I.
RThat's kind of the expectation that you can run any application you want.
