#nesteddesktop — Public Fediverse posts

I love how the #SteamDeck still hasn't figured out how to properly exit from non-#Steam apps yet, particularly desktop apps (including its very neat #NestedDesktop app).

This used to bug me so much, but I've sort of accepted it by opting for web apps instead of desktop apps in #Gaming mode - these apps can safely/properly be closed by "closing the tab" (from the browser) by pressing Ctrl + W. Using the Web Browser controller layout, the left "Select" button on the controller is a shortcut for this combination.

Games or any other game-like apps such as #EmulationStation are fine, as they have an in-game/app "quit" option to close the app properly. Desktop apps though, mostly do not have this option - leaving you only with the option to "Exit Game" through #SteamOS instead where the issue lies, and something that hasn't been fixed since the Deck was launched.
