Every 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 The information on the introductory documentation was outdated anyways, so I removed the link from here.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.
Twhat do you think the difference is between the options?
RAnd multitask...
Pso it stands to reason that your problem is that you should've already known better than to think it needs a further-customized image
Pthat's going to lock you down even further with a distro like bazzite
RLook the download does not mention it, or explain it, in any way. It doesn't reference to the FAQ either.
Pright and we're going on the assumption most people don't know better and don't care about using vscode alongside spotify on their minecraft box
Pyou know better, you can just go download a regular image
Tthing is even with that, you can STILL do all that
RFuck you.
RFrom the first-time-user POV the entire bazzite experience and everything i could find (no i did not find FAQ with any of my searches) mislead me to think that I need the GPD-specific variant to get all my buttons and shit working
Pcan you please stop taking your frustration out on everybody else if you actually want anything to change
Tso hostile when you got confused
CIt's the very second link on that documentation URL
RThen maybe some people could not be smarty pants like that one.
Phttps://github.com/aarron-lee/gpd-win-tricks you should be grateful anybody even maintains a separate image

Tyou can run multiple applications at the same time (game and spotify and browser) all while in game mode, and if you dont want game mode then its still possible to remove gamemode and boot into the desktop every time
Pin saying that i'd rather we just didn't have a separate GPD image if it brings people in just for them to get angry about not having installed the less opinionated version that runs worse and pisses casual users off on said devices
CYou can switch between them with the Guide button I believe
