I love big picture mode for my use case - my living room PC boots it automatically for couch gaming with a controller. That being said, the button to launch it from the steam desktop client is very poorly positioned and I also understand the complaints about the Xbox button causing it to launch.

Spam texts have decreased but I still get 2-3 spam calls every day, and they always leave a 4 second long voicemail consisting of nothing. Incredibly annoying having to constantly clean those out.
