The command "steam -tenfoot" is used to launch the Steam client in the Big Picture Mode, also known as Tenfoot mode.
Steam's Big Picture Mode is a user interface designed specifically for using Steam on a television or a larger screen in a more comfortable and controller-friendly way. It enlarges the text and buttons, optimizes the layout for viewing from a distance, and enhances navigational controls for use with a controller or remote.
By running the command "steam -tenfoot" in a terminal or command prompt, you are instructing the Steam client to start in Big Picture Mode, providing a more console-like experience on your computer screen that integrates well with televisions and other large displays.
