@sources_sys @Grummz that said its not entirely the full experience

@sources_sys @Grummz when i open big picture it does the exact same animation as i turn on my steamdeck and is 1:1 to the steamdecks ui

Name a better gaming OS. I'll wait. SteamOS 3.8.6 Beta is now available btw.

@GameStalgiaX 6th gen was just so much better

No accounts. No logins. No day-one patch. No battle pass. No roadmap. Just the disc, the controller, and the game. We didn’t realize how good we had it.

@sources_sys @Grummz indeed they pretty much retired the big picture name in favor of the steamos name

@Firefox1994 @Grummz Valce doesnt call it Big Picture Mode, Valve calls it Gamemode, which is because its Not BigPicture Mode.

@sources_sys @Grummz true but its still called steamos no matter what the system, im just going by what valve is calling big picture

@Firefox1994 @Grummz Switching to Desktop mode kills the gamescope process and starts a separate KDE Plasma Wayland session. This is not how BigPicture Mode behaves with Windows, or other OS

@sources_sys @Grummz how come my steamdecks desktop mode says wayland? but yes youre right about it using a emulated x11 called xwayland since again x11 is retired.

@Firefox1994 @Grummz Gamescope is the wayland compositor. It is not running on top of X11, it is the environment itself. When you run a legacy game that requires X11, Gamescope uses XWayland to provide an X11 compatibility layer, but the system environment remains natively Wayland.

@sources_sys @Grummz the less resource heavy version(the default that the steamdeck launches into no vsync enabled) and the normal version(desktop mode that is using forced vsync)

@Firefox1994 @Grummz On top of that, SteamOS (the whole system) even uses two different gamemode versions

@sources_sys @Grummz technically its only one sesson at a time since switching to desktop mode shutdown gamescope sandbox.

@Firefox1994 @Grummz Because of two different sessions 😐

@sources_sys @Grummz steamos is running on wayland only, x11 is retired, you have to manually install other compositor, on default settings on steamdeck, you only launch into gamescope and manually have to switch to desktop sandbox mode, you cant just switch compositors without installing new ones

@Firefox1994 @Grummz No you cant. You can chose to directly boot into another compositor, instead of Gamescope. You can go into desktop, start steam big picture mode, you will have a different system, one running on X11, mutable, while Gamemode runs on wayland and is an immutable A/B image. Etc.

@nostalgiaa miss the show used to watch it when i was younger

@sweirde are they pop stars? jokes aside they are pretty cute

Oyupai and Pallapai, the idol twins

@izzypaw_ didnt think anyone can make vaporeon look very cute

my vaporeon from firered ^_^

@BigBoss77br @kanapkazlewaka @Grummz tell that to valve then, cause a few months ago i launched it to compare it to steam os on launch it said steam os

@Firefox1994 @kanapkazlewaka @Grummz That is not a OS bro

@sources_sys @Grummz sandbox systems can boot how ever they want, but drivers have to load on os level to load anything, and you can disable gamemode/big picture to boot straight to desktop

@sources_sys @Grummz i mean it literally does start on startup lmao, how else will it load first? cause the operating system is in a sandbox, and anything you modify on the desktop resets, graphics drivers and all load on startup, gamemode is just big picture under a fancy name, its a sandbox

@TsarSylveon vaporeon is a fish espeon is a cat, the others are foxes, so i would say vaporeon is more of a catfish, since foxes are cat software in dog hardware

Vaporeon looking very cat-like.

@SKINSWukong eevee is amazing little fox, eevee is my fav pokemon

What's your opinion on Eevee?

@libertytanuki now what about vaporeon pfps? cause youre not wrong with the sylveon pfps i met a few trans and a few numb nuts(not sure what a chud is as im 31 so not hip with gen z slang)

Sylveon PFPs will either be trans or the biggest chud you've ever seen

@sources_sys @Grummz exactly, steamos isnt a specialized linux based system, its just an immutable arch linux system, with big picture to auto run on startup.

@Firefox1994 @Grummz The Core Difference ​Big Picture Mode is an application layer that runs on top of an existing operating system (like Windows or Linux). It is a "skin" designed for controller navigation. ​SteamOS is a specialized, Linux-based operating system. It replaces the host OS entirely.

@sources_sys @Grummz im a freebsd user but even i know what im talking about.

@sources_sys @Grummz booting bigpicture says steam os, im not a fan of windows, as you can tell, im just stating an obvious thing, valves arch linux opens big picture.
