Need something similar to SteamOS for your desktop or handhelds like the Steam Deck? The latest release of Bazzite with version 2.2 sounds like it just keeps getting better.
I’m using bazzite on my pc connected to the TV and it’s been a great experience: I can play using a controller on most games thanks to steam input and overall it feels like a classic console experience on par with Xbox Series X (with some steam mods you can also have the quick resume functionality)
This is great to hear. I’ve been considering a setup like this. I’ll have to try this out.
Eventually I’d like to build a new desktop exclusively for gaming to keep near my media center and then just use a docked laptop for productivity work. Currently I just have a long HDMI cable run to the TV which mostly works until I want to do something on my computer while in the middle of a game.

Yeah you can also connect a wireless HDMI adapter and use the desktop mode as well (though you can’t play and use the desktop mode at the same time)
What steam mods are you using for quick resume?
I know some people use the pause games Decky plugin in combination with a large swap file to swap between multiple games at once.
Exactly that!
