Booting to Steam Big Picture under certain conditions
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For switching between monitors and the tv, just get an hdmi selector with a remote. Something like this for example. That way you just turn on your pc with the controller and switch to the tv with the selector remote. As for starting in steam big picture mode, you can’t have it both ways. You can do either or as far as I know. You could try installing cachy OS regular desktop then install the handheld package, which puts an icon on your desktop that when you click, it takes you to big picture mode. Although, I’m not sure whether or not the handheld package causes the machine to boot directly into big picture mode.
You can force steam to start in big picture mode with the
-gamepaduiargument. And you can always switch between desktop and big picture mode, at least when you have a normal window manager running.Booting into big picture mode would entail launching gamescope and launching Steam inside that.
