How do I get out of Steam Big Picture mode?
Easy peasy! Just hit the 'Escape' key on your keyboard, or choose the 'Exit Big Picture' option from the power menu in the top-right corner of the screen. You'll be back to the regular Steam interface in no time.

I second hitting the 'Escape' key, works like a charm every time. But if you're feeling adventurous, you can also navigate to the settings menu, then to the interface section, and untick the 'Start Steam in Big Picture Mode' option to avoid this in the future.
Just alt+F4, bro. Quick and dirty.
Using a controller? Press and hold the Steam button until you see the power menu, then select 'Exit Big Picture.' It's like the secret handshake for getting back to normal mode.
