Linux with steam installed running bigscreen mode, auto login(optional), steam launch on login, bluetooth controller.
Done.
I have it setup exactly like this atm and its amazing. Dont have the suspend resume luxury, but everything else like steam link all on a very small n95 tiny pc.
I have the setup you described as well as a steam deck. The deck is a more polished experience with mangohud, game scope, auto updates, and other things I’d have to setup and maintain.
With any luck SteamOS will be installable on most pcs and then you can build or buy a steam machine.
Yes, I could just use Bazzite. But i want something that works out of the box.
I think in some aspects Bazzite are better than SteamOS. It literally started as an alternative to SteamOS for the Deck.
