[Feature]: Suggestion for Post-Install Instructions #909

Description

I wanted to throw in an installation suggestion for Steam Deck. I only want to auto-start games in gaming mode; I don't want to skip MO2 in desktop mode. So instead of %command% 'moshortcut://"XXX"' for the launch options, I use %command% $([ -z $KDE_FULL_SESSION ] && echo 'mochortcut://"XXX"') which does not auto-start when there's a KDE session. This approach is sufficient for Steam Deck because using KDE is a requirement of a standard, regularly updated system (steamOS does not support other DEs)

The implementation section below is what I would write into the Post-Install Instructions wiki page, after "Launching without opening MO2". But it doesn't seem like I can submit this like a pull request so here it is as an issue.

How should we implement this?

Steam Deck: only open MO2 in desktop mode

Steam Deck users can modify their launch options from above to skip MO2 only in gaming mode, retaining access to the UI in desktop mode. After the above section, use the following template to check if the desktop is loaded at launch. Don't use this if you're not using SteamOS.

Example:

%command% $([ -z "$KDE_FULL_SESSION" ] && echo 'moshortcut://"SKSE"' )
