Just to realize that the new SteamDeck derived big-picture mode is dog slow and almost unusable on this hardware :cry:
Really odd that the new big-picture mode of Steam is so unoptimized. This mini-pc plays many nice looking native Linux games without problems, but running this new big-picture mode brings it to it's knees :sick:
There are other gamepad controlled launchers that support Steam like [Pegasus](https://pegasus-frontend.org/) and [ES-Desktop](https://es-de.org/) and those work relatively well for games installed locally, but I can't seem to find a way to launch RemotePlay titles with them.
Anyone has an suggestion what might work? Maybe there is a work-around with a special .desktop file that ES-Desktop might understand?
Thanks!
Edit: I forgot that the official Steamlink app is available for x86-64. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.valvesoftware.SteamLink So I will try that. But a nice combined launcher would be still great to have.

So it's probably a bug on some systems and not a sudden jump in minimal system requirements: Unfortunately no-one from Valve have responded yet.
I don't really want to go back to the old BPM either 😅
Anyways, the SteamLink app via Flatpak works and just transfers the new BPM from my main Desktop it seems.
I think I will add the Steamlink app as a custom "game" to ES-Desktop or Pegasus and launch it from there as a temporary workaround.

It starts normally and if you quit you get back into ES seamlessly.
Now I just need to get my Steam Controller to work better without having Steam running in the background... it actually works fine once you are in SteamLink as well. I guess SC-Controller would help, but that is a bit annoying to install these days.
