You can add steam big picture mode as a session type which would let you pick it from the login manager (the same as if you had both GNOME & KDE installed, for example). There would be no need to replace anything.
- kokada 11mo agoDoesn't work as seamless, NixOS has this option but you can't quit the session unless you go to TTY and type `steam --kill` (the button for `Switch to desktop` exists but doesn't work). For it to work AFAIK you need to give SteamOS kind like a Display Manager permission (and also have some shims that does the actual work for switching sessions).
