It seems it will be easier to be Steam Machine Verified when compared with Steam Deck Verified, according to a Valve designer speaking with Game Developer.
You are more likely to run into text being to large in that scenario. I have Ultrawide 40" 5k2k & 32" 4k computer monitor and run linux with Steam. Text is fine, It is just going to get larger on a bigger screen. Steam has scaling for its interface and Plasma, the desktop for SteamOS, is feature rich for most people’s usages. I am certain people already are using Linux and Steam with TVs. If there is an issue, it would also be an issue on Windows. Mostly older games that weren’t updated for HiDPI screens.
Yeah, but mostly going older games. Newer games usually have accessibility settings now, probably due to laws in various parts of the world. Anything since HiDPI became common should be fine.

The text scaling has to be implemented in-game though, or the game has to have appropriately-sized text.
Some games have options to change the text size, which is great. Others have small text regardless of screen size.

If it’s common now, then what’s the problem with it being a requirement to be certified?
