I hope that eventually Valve adds a setting for “boot to desktop by default” an option.
The Steam Deck is a handheld console by default but its versatility is part of what makes it such a unique and awesome device.
With a docking station and controller it becomes a great living room console. I think the UX could still use some improvements in small areas but it’s a great experience already.
But right now it’s not the best desktop PC experience because even if you hook up a mouse and keyboard, it boots into game mode by default and can’t be configured on the settings.
I honestly can imagine a future where after several iterations of the Deck I’ve got one hooked up to my TV, one at my desk, and one in my backpack or bedside table or wherever I play in handheld mode.
