I don't know how to enter desktop mode.
There is no big picture button next to my profile icon in the upper right corner. I don't know how to access the desktop.

A quick way is to hold the power button until a menu pops up. Then select desktop mode.

Takes the same exact amount of time to do either. Tested at least 20x because my friend bet me $100 it wasn't. He lost and I bought another storage drive with the money.

That's nice dear. Hopefully you can also use that money to learn socialization skills.

It also makes you contort your hand/finger to reach the power button which moves it out of the comfortable position you were in while holding the Deck.

Not really. I have no issue reaching the power button without contorting anything.

Not all humans have ET hands and can move out of the position we were comfortably in to reach it.
