I used Ubuntu briefly years ago but never really dove into the world of Linux. Are there any useful or fun programs for Linux that work well in desktop mode on the deck? Thanks

One feature in SteamOS 3.5 to be aware of is support for Nix packages. Much much more selection there. I'm looking forward to having Sway or Hyprland launchable in game mode with custom Steam Inputs :)
