Linux as my daily driver via Steam Deck docked to my 65" tv at 1440p 120hz. The Steam Deck isnt only a handheld gaming console. It's a full Linux machine.

Do you run SteamOS? Or a different os?
This is SteamOS which runs ~~on~~ KDE.
An OS can't run on a desktop environment bud. SteamOS is the operating system, and kde is a desktop environment that's installed on top of the OS
Thanks, pal.
I'm no expert, but that looks like windows 10 on a steam deck.
The "start button" is the kde plasma logo. So this would be Linux of some sort (makes sense given the community and what OP has said) and not windows
The question is just whether OP is using steamOS that comes on the deck (and uses KDE plasma for desktop mode) or if they have installed a different distro that fits the desktop use case a bit better.
Wrong.
This is KDE Plasma, look at the bottom left corner.
Tbh it also fooled me initially, KDE Plasma does look very similar to win10. I had to read the community and look at the Plasma icon rather than Windows icon to see.
To nitpick, Win10 looks like KDE :). Kde has been pretty consistent for a while
