I mean...what you're seeing is simply Big Picture Mode. That's not any indication that it's running SteamOS 🤦

Good call.

Fancy seeing you here Ultich haha

Is the interface actually exactly the same on SteamOS and Big Picture?

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. The interface on SteamOS is Big Picture Mode. That's what it was made for.

With the exception of what someone else pointed out about the check marks.

Um ackchually Steam OS's main user interface is Game mode. Big Picture mode is different, but is slowly being modified to be similar

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago

I don't think it is. Certainly is not visually different. "Game Mode" incorporates the Gamescope compositor.
