bazzite
Bazzite is a cloud native image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite handheld.
Project mention: Bye-bye Windows gaming? SteamOS officially expands past the Steam Deck | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-08You don't need to wait for Valve to get this experience today. The HTPC build of Bazzite [1] brings an experience identical to SteamOS to all computers with an AMD or Intel GPU from the past 8 years or so.
It works amazingly well and I can't imagine going back to Windows for a PC that is built for video games. I use it on my "Gaming HTPC" (Ryzen 3600, Radeon RX6600) and it brings a great console experience to my TV, without being attached to a locked down console ecoystem and with access to my PC game library and without the enormous cruft and user hostility that Windows has you manage these days.

[2]: Under the hood it's built on Fedora and Universal Blue, so under the hood it's different from SteamOS which is built on an immutable version of Arch Linux. However, that implementation detail is actually almost totally irrelevant if you want to play games since all software is managed by Steam and Flatpak on both systems.
