As some people have said, you don’t appear to be able to move windows far back at all. This greatly restricts the actual window resolution size that’s useful/usable. Apps only look like tablet-size things once they’re pushed back to the max and resized somewhat. Otherwise they all seem like phone apps and they’re all quite close to you.

  • Seems that we can convert HEIC image files to JPG, PNG using ffmpeg of all things! https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/heic-linux.html It worked on Steam Deck!
