I hope that eventually Valve adds a setting for “boot to desktop by default” an option.
The Steam Deck is a handheld console by default but its versatility is part of what makes it such a unique and awesome device.
With a docking station and controller it becomes a great living room console. I think the UX could still use some improvements in small areas but it’s a great experience already.
But right now it’s not the best desktop PC experience because even if you hook up a mouse and keyboard, it boots into game mode by default and can’t be configured on the settings.
I honestly can imagine a future where after several iterations of the Deck I’ve got one hooked up to my TV, one at my desk, and one in my backpack or bedside table or wherever I play in handheld mode.
I’d love if it could recognize different docks or USB hubs and let you set certain docks to boot to desktop or the console. Or even different docks booting to different desktop users.
