I would very much recommend Playnite, a centralized launcher for games on all kinds of launchers.
You basically enable plugins for shops like GOG, Steam or whatever, it scans all games and then you got a central interface. It automatically launches say Steam, then the game, and on exit closes steam again.
Playnite is all you need OP. Afaik there is no alt UI for the media unless you use a browser.

Playnite would be in the same category, I suppose.
Switched from Galaxy to Playnite a couple of months ago and am happy with it so far
For awhile I was doing shortcuts in a folder lol
For playing and downloading the games, SteamCMD.
For viewing the store or community pages, a browser? Maybe you could get the Steam Deck version of the store page?
The second thing you mentioned is what I’m asking about. A browser doesn’t solve this problem (as far as I know) because It’s still using the steam webpage’s interface. It would have to be some kind of alternative website frontend that grabs all the data from the steam website and gives it back to you in a different (better) way.
I’m not familiar with the steam decks version you mentioned
- Lutris can work as more of an alternative launcher (and can handle picking the best Proton version)
- AdwSteamGtk is a GTK (Adwaita) wrapper
- ProtonUp-Qt is a little standalone tool for managing compatibility tools for Wine and Steam (including Proton GE, Luxtorpeda, Boxtron, etc.)
Piracy
That’s not what they’re asking about.

A lot of the time there are options that no longer work or are bad in other ways (lying, stealing data, unreliable)
