The one thing I took away from it was that the Xbox-button acts as alt tab. I WANT THE SAME FROM MY STEAM DECK IN DESKTOP MODE!

But in Desktop mode the Steam button does absolutely nothing while a game is running.

Can't you map Alt-Tab to one of the back buttons? Or does that not work in desktop mode?

EDIT: Or if that doesn't work through steam then is there gamepad software in KDE or the Software Centre that lets the desktop map gamepad buttons?

That works. I'm just lazy and don't want to have to do it for every game.

I've had mixed results doing this. Not really sure why
