Software-wise, if you are using a Linux installation with KDE interface, on an AMD CPU and AMD GPU, and are using a wayland session with gamescope to play games, it is very VERY close to the Steam Deck and you are benefiting from all the optimizations that were made for Steam Deck. Bonus points if the hardware is Ryzen 3000 series and Radeon RX 6000 series.
You probably saw this, but Nexus Mods are asking feedback from Linux users, not just Steam Deck. Because, you know, apart from the sticks, size and touch pads, Steam Deck is just another Linux machine.
LOL that's a lot of ifs...
And you left out the part about launching into big picture mode.
Install Bazzite and use the Laptop version with Steam Gaming Mode if you have an AMD system. It's what you're asking for but for non-deck devices. http://bazzite.gg/
I didn't ask for anything...
Who hurt you that you're taking all of this as a personal attack?
None of that happened.
I'm just tired of people constantly spreading disinformation about turning their laptops into Steam Decks by simply installing Linux, and failing to understand or acknowledge literally any of the major differences.
Not literally, but this turns your device into a Steamdeck, which is what you implied you wanted. With the option to launch into Big Picture/Gaming Mode.
