I made a steam console (lemmy.world)

And omfg!!! I'm amazed and blown away. I have this old PC that I've had since 2016. Replaced the old 1080Ti that died with an RX6600. Connected it to my TV in the basement and installed Bazzite OS HTPC on it.

A friend of mine has over 2500 games on his steam and gave me access through this family sharing feature. Man, I'm amazed. I didn't know that steam mode has built in upscaling where all the games I play are now running ~50 - 60 FPS on medium to high settings on this 4k TV. It's like having an actual console but with more games and better graphics. For controller, I got this Gamesir cyclone 2 and it's freaking fantastic. Just trying to figure out how to wake the "console" using the controller. I don't think I'll ever touch my PS4 pro ever again.

I did have one issue where Bazzite wouldn't wake up after suspend, but fixed that by disabling runtime power management for AMDGPU by Adding options amdgpu runpm=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf and disabling the wake up animation for steam mode.

That's it. Just came here to share with you all this amazing discovery. lol

Yeah, people complain about some Windows games not working, but it easily blows any console out of the water.

It had windows on it and some games kept crashing the whole PC. This is the main reason why we switched it to bazzite. My son was fed up with windows and asked me to install Linux on it. Now he has no issues with all the games he plays. I love seeing my boy enjoying his time.
