Since when are non-Steam games first class citizens on steam os? You have to enter desktop mode to launch them.

Most of your complaints seem very nitpicky tbh. Valve needs competition badly and I'm glad to see another company entering the Linux gaming space.

You don't have to enter desktop mode to launch them. You have to enter desktop mode to install them and add them as a non-steam game to your steam library so that they'll show up in handheld mode.

So a bit easier but still not first class citizens citizens, by definition. It is called steam os after all, so I don't necessarily expect anything different, but this company wants to offer something new. Seems like this os is less dependent on steam integration, which I would view as a plus.

I agree. But I'll believe it when I see it.
