Could you build this?

Partial The Steam Deck Decky Loader plugin frontend can be vibe-coded easily, but integrating with Helix super-resolution drivers and low-level Linux/SteamOS graphics stacks requires domain-specific runtime knowledge.

What it would actually take: Requires a Decky Loader plugin structure (React frontend + Python backend) communicating with SteamOS system services, Vulkan layer injections, and Helix runtime configs. The challenging parts are proper permissions management, systemd/gamescope integration, and graphics layer hooking on Steam Deck hardware.
