SteamOS 3.5.5 Hidden New Feature - Access Desktop Mode from Game Mode! | Steam Deck Handheld PC
#steamdeck #steamos #handheldgaming #pcgaming #linuxgaming
I like this trick in SteamOS 3.5.5 as you can now easily access Desktop Mode from within Game Mode. This saves time if you need to do some maintenance tasks.
While this has been around prior to 3.5.5 using 3rd party script, it is now included on the stable SteamOS 3.5.5
How to use it -
1. Go to Desktop Mode.
2. Open Konsole terminal and type the command -
a. steamos-add-to-steam /usr/bin/steamos-nested-desktop
b. exit
3. and thats it! go back to Game Mode and you can just launch steamos-nested-desktop
Happy gaming everyone!
