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

After faffing around with Steam Link to no avail again last night, I'm seriously considering something like that.

Have you tried Sunshine+Moonlight?

Care to elaborate?

See the other comment about what Sunshine and Moonlight are, but I wanted to toss in I use that, as well as a stand alone instance of Steam on my living room PC. My living room PC is noticeably weaker than my main PC, so for some games I stream them via Sunshine/Moonlight, but for a lot of indie titles I just run them right in the living room PC.
