+Converting extracted AppImage (`squashfs-root`) into a distributable AppDir for Steam
+
+If your environment lacks `rsync`, use `cp -a` to copy the extracted AppImage into a clean AppDir and prepare it for upload to Steam.
+
+1) Copy the extracted AppImage to an AppDir folder
+```bash
+cp -a squashfs-root/ nebula-appdir
+```
+
+2) Unpack `app.asar` to edit or include app sources (optional; requires `npx asar`)
+```bash
+cd nebula-appdir/resources
+npx asar extract app.asar app
+# keep a backup if you want
+mv app app.orig && rm app.asar
+cd ../../
+```
+
+3) Add/verify launcher (we added `nebula-appdir/Nebula`):
+```bash
+chmod +x nebula-appdir/Nebula
+```
+Run locally:
+```bash
+cd nebula-appdir
+./Nebula
+```
+
+4) Ensure binary & permissions are correct
+```bash
+chmod +x nebula-appdir/nebula
+```
+
+5) Package or upload to Steam
+- Create a tarball to upload as game files, or upload the AppDir contents as the depot.
+```bash
+tar -czf nebula-appdir.tar.gz -C nebula-appdir .
+```
+- In Steamworks, set the launch command to `./Nebula` (or `./nebula`).
+
+Notes
+- `--no-sandbox` reduces Chromium sandboxing; prefer fixing `chrome-sandbox` and enabling sandboxing when possible.
+- Using the AppDir avoids AppImage/FUSE dependency on target systems.
+- Test on a clean SteamOS/Deck image before publishing.
+
+Big Picture auto-start (SteamOS Gaming Mode)
+- If Nebula is launched from SteamOS Gaming Mode, it will auto-start in Big Picture Mode.
+- To force/disable via Steam Launch Options: `--big-picture` or `--no-big-picture`.

 ### Automatic Detection
 If Nebula detects a Steam Deck-sized display (1280x800), it will suggest Big Picture Mode in settings.
 
+### Auto-start in SteamOS Gaming Mode
+When Nebula is launched from SteamOS **Gaming Mode** (gamescope / Steam gamepad UI), it will automatically start in **Big Picture Mode**.
+
+You can override this behavior:
+- Force Big Picture at launch: launch options `--big-picture` (or `--bigpicture`)
+- Disable Big Picture auto-start: launch options `--no-big-picture` (or `--no-bigpicture`)
+- Environment overrides: `NEBULA_BIG_PICTURE=1` / `NEBULA_NO_BIG_PICTURE=1`
