Just out of curiosity, but when I modify my steamdeck to ALWAYS boot into desktop mode first (using the command ```/usr/bin/steamos-session-select plasma-wayland-persistent```) I noticed that my deck always turns on and enters the desktop WITHOUT asking for any password or anything! There is literally no security on the desktop whatsoever. I even tried setting a pin (in game mode), which doesn’t work when I try to boot into the desktop os on startup (it will work if I undo the effects of the command).

How can I start my steamdeck in desktop mode EVERY TIME while also ensuring that there is a login screen of sorts to ensure that it’s protected? Thanks for your advice!

    Do you by chance know how to set up a whole login screen for the steamdeck? Or would I just have to go ahead and install another linux distro on a partition to get that effect?
