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

Did you follow a guide? If so, can you link it?

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A guide on the installation? Just a normal distro install if you've ever installed one. I chose the HTPC iso to make sure I'm getting the full desktop power alongside the gaming mode and installed. I have several drives and it was so cool to realize that Bazzite set them to mount automatically at boot (one of them is even NTFS), all I did is tick them in the installer alongside the one I installed the system on and the distro like understood that I needed them mounted at boot automatically.

Here their guide in case you need it :)
