There’s a new feature in SteamOS 3.5.5 - you can now access Desktop Mode from within Game Mode!

While this has been around prior to 3.5.5 using 3rd party script, its nice that this is now bundled by default in the latest stable SteamOS 3.5.5

I like this as you can now easily access Desktop Mode and go back to Game Mode quickly.

Check out the quick demo tutorial how to set it up! I’ve also attached a screenshot of my Desktop Mode and it shows the mangohud at the top because it is running in Game Mode!
