I do have a steam deck, and have also used several Linux installs. If you are booting a Linux pc you should be entering a password.
You can also have a local account on windows 11 and not have a password. So it just boots to desktop and shows steam. I personally don’t have big picture running on windows, I have a mouse and just click on the game I want to play.
I also have never experienced windows stopping me from playing with a controller(Xbox, ps5 or steam controllers old and new), or interacting with big picture mode.
It seems like you have tiny things that you are blowing way out of proportion. Like a windows pc taking longer to load than a console, we are talking seconds difference.
