    I have three questions if you have the time. Can you make it go to desktop mode by default, not big picture mode? What DE does it come with, Plasma? Does it come with Lutris or whatever? If I have an .exe installer for an old game, does it come pre-installed with tools to help create the proton wine-prefixes and everything? I imagine the last one would allow Flatpak to be used.

      Not OP but:

      • on a desktop it’s defaulted to desktop mode. I’m unsure about the steam deck.

      • you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

      • lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

      The only games I’m unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.

      I apologize for the late reply, the other commenter is correct as well, Bazzite comes out of the box in desktop mode, if you’ve ever used plasma before, it’s a lot like that. For .exe programs I use wine, and haven’t had that let me down yet for the most part. Im fairly certain Bazzite does use flatpaks, but it does also have also Discover baked in.

      Honestly, I compare it strongly to using the steam deck desktop mode.

      I want to add to what the others said. Usually I just add windows programs/games to steam as none steam game. that has been the easiest way to do it for me. I have very few games that isn’t on steam so it is nice to be able to add them together with the rest with the correct categories and such.
