For anyone who knows some French, you’re probably better off reading the original article - the language used isn’t that complex.

Pretty sure I remember this guy on a Linux gaming discord server a couple of years before Steam Deck released asking people who were gaming on low end PCs how well things were working for them.

Looking back, I think I know what that was about now.

I only play games in my living room. I can't stand Big Picture mode. It's awkward and has a lot of useless stuff in it. Just make the regular UI controller usable, Valve. That's all you need to do. There's no reason to have two different UIs.

Is this a new version of BP though?
Edit: looks like they have changed it a little. It's definitely more useable. But there doesn't seem to be a way to access the workshop. Why is everything so freaking big? Do they not know that TVs aren't CRT anymore? They don't need giant icons for everything anymore.

Edit2: Big picture doesn't show nonsteam games. Not using it. Half my games are not from steam.

In case it is helpful: Big Picture Mode does show non-Steam games. Go to the library and there is a tab for them. They'll also show in the recent games list on the home page.
