I'm trying big picture out on my 8th gen Intel mini PC with endeavouros and plasma and getting pretty bad performance. Probably missed something in configuration, but I'm just gonna try steamOS and see how that does.
Edit: Realizing now that the steamOS download link redirects to steam deck recovery image, still waiting on non steam deck image. I'm gonna try chimeraOS instead.
Yes it is, at least for now. Shift + f10 to open cmd in the OOBE, then "OOBE \BYPASSNRO"
There's a game called ScreenCheat where everyone is invisible, so you need to look at other's screens to see where they are.
You can follow the link and go to preferences to change the back-end instance. Works pretty consistently for me now that I changed it.
If you currently have a Windows 10 machine, you can use NT Lite to edit the win11 iso. You can remove some of the bloatware, turn off some of the annoying features, and disable the tpm and secure boot requirements entirely.
I tried for hours to get this working and could not. Steam big picture can actually be used as a launcher if you use boilr to import flatpaks. Might be worth it to try steamOS as an HTPC.
