Ahhh, I misunderstood your earlier comment, my bad. Yeah, if I had a windows handheld, setting it up to boot straight into Steam Big Picture would be a no-brainer for me, just as a minor QOL thing.

As for your other point, I don't remember them saying that, but that's pretty crappy they fell through on delivering on that promise. I'm just hoping as SteamOS/Linux gaming continues growing in popularity that developers just start putting more effort into native support.

I have tried it but Big Picture mode in Windows is extremely limited because

Cannot change system settings (Power usage/fan-curve/FPS/Refresh rate)
Cannot add Bluetooth device (controller/headphone) within Steam; need to switch back to Windows
Floating windows interfere with application focus since there is no gamescope. You need to use the touchscreen from time to time which is annoying
No Decky Loader
