Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

Can I ask what kind of setup you have?
Not op but also don't have a steamdeck, but my tv setup is also reported as steamdeck. I use Chimera OS on my PC connected to my living room tv.
It uses just some old parts left over a 4 gen i5 and a Rx 470.
Yoooo same execpt its a rx570 It works pretty well!
Probably the same thing with bazzite. Although it is installed on a deck so it isn't wrong.
Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git
Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it's being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they're awfully hacky right now.

No, do it. And don't forget to put a license on it. I'd rather have "hacky" answers to my question that I can improve on, rather than searching for how to do something and coming up with nothing.
I have some days off until new years. Will try to put it up and update this comment. Interested to hear what improvements people come up with!
The beauty of open source is that, if people find it useful, they will improve it :)
