It boots into Game scope (as others said, it's not "big picture mode" it's a compositor stack tailored for high gaming performance) but it's nothing more than an immutable arch distribution (and immutability can be disabled for tweaking) so you could definitely swap the defaults if someone has documented how.
Would be a nice feature to have once SteamOS becomes independent of the deck.
It's the right thing to do. Windows isn't nearly as stable or reproducible as a testing platform anymore and I imagine it's a PITA to handle for benchmarking dozens of not hundreds of hardware configs.
Of course they'll still do those Windows tests, not suggesting they won't, but Linux may become a more useful benchmarking platform for reviewers thanks to the control and automation it provides.
A whole host of configurations can be quickly booted and tested on a benchmark suite to confirm performance of older hardware and provide context, whilst newer products can get a bespoke review on all platforms. If a new benchmark game comes out, it'll be way easier to insert into the Linux setups than Windows.
I think they're taking the oil, as a criticism of the EU still importing fuel from Russia despite claiming to boycott?
surprised they didn't unironically put Israel on there. most uKKKraine stans are all in on the forever war

GTA V but what if we gave it some graphics enhancement mods that don't fucking work

It's really good, but also doesn't have a monetary strategy ATM and it's still being heavily developed so stuff changes a lot. I like it but have taken a break only because I've not had the time to play something that's 30-60min games with the few hours I'm not working

Even the stuff in the "immutable" section isn't necessarily wiped, it's more that there is a strong chance changes may be overwritten. I'd definitely make no guarantees to anything stored on the immutable sections of SteamOS.
