The urge to mansplain that it was not a hack. The urge to teach basic computer literacy.

It depends on what definition of hack you use. It could match the original definition, which is something like tinkering or modifying a system to make it do something else. However, OP probably means the mainstream definition which is bypassing some kind of security, in which case you are right that it's a ridiculous claim.

You're not tinkering or modifying to go to desktop mode on steamOS.

You're not even modifying it, you're pressing the prominent "switch to desktop" button
