Because you touch yourself at night.

For real though, where are you using sticky bits? The most common place they’re used is for set-UID and set-GID executables.

i dont use them but like once every other year some thing on the server will not work right with/without them and i can never remember why

I wouldn’t say that I’m specifically experienced with hacking on them other than to say that Steam OS is pretty much shiny Arch.

That said, game mode startup on Steam is wonky and not really standard from what I can see.

The leading suggestion for something like this would be to write a shell script that calls xrandr to add your custom mode and test it in Desktop Mode. If it works there, create a user systemd service unit and set it to run at login. That should work across both Desktop and Game modes. Reddit talks about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/uu3qm6/run_script_at_gaming_mode_startup/
