- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Is it any different than kde plasma + steam big picture?
I don't know if steam big picture use gamescope https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope.
I would guess it doesn't, but I cannot be 100% sure, I haven't used steam on my laptop since ages
yes, it doesn't run plasma when it's in big picture, it runs it in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope along with other tweaks, so it's lower overhead and game windows tend to behave better
it also handles updates to os as well as to steam so you don't ever end up with an update that breaks steam, they're always in sync
