Can't hold the power button on my PS to load into "desktop mode" and operate it exactly like my desktop PC though, like I can on steam deck

The difference between the SteamDeck and the PlayStation that makes the Steam Deck a “personal computer” is that you can run whatever software you want on a Steam Deck. SteamOS even comes with “desktop mode” which works much like you’d expect a desktop Linux OS to work. If you don’t like SteamOS, you can simply install a different OS.
