    Huh. I wonder if this is maybe related to the Steam Machine? It would be a good use case for it, and the timing makes sense. I know the Deck boots into Steam Big Picture at boot, but you can get to the desktop, and I think it’s KDE. I’ve only used someone else’s Deck for a short time, but I remember it working fine because it has a touch screen. Without that, you need something like this.

      It has to be. Can you imagine shipping a HTPC without a decent interface? And the fact that it is just a different mode within Plasma Desktop rather than a distinct shell means seemless switching like the steam client without having to log out then back in
