Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git

Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it's being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they're awfully hacky right now.

No, do it. And don't forget to put a license on it. I'd rather have "hacky" answers to my question that I can improve on, rather than searching for how to do something and coming up with nothing.

I have some days off until new years. Will try to put it up and update this comment. Interested to hear what improvements people come up with!

The beauty of open source is that, if people find it useful, they will improve it :)
