  • The option(s) other commenters gave are great! But just to give you more options, I’ll give you a few additional ideas.

    1. KDE Connect: You can still use a normal desktop (preferably KDE or Gnome), set your display scale to 150+%, and then use your phone remotely to control the cursor, media playback, and more.
    2. Bazzite: often used to replace SteamOS, it also boots into Steam big picture mode by default, where you can set applications in the start menu. It has a nice console-like interface, and you don’t have to maintain anything, e.g. updating. It also supports Waydroid and webapps by default.
    3. An old laptop or mini-PC with Bluefin or Aurora. They are basically like Bazzite, but without gaming stuff. You can set the display scale to 200% and enjoy a worry-free experience. Optionally, you can install Phosh or Plasma Mobile on top, which is made for mobile devices.

  • I think Bazzite will be way better than SteamOS when it comes to hardware enablement. After all, that’s uBlue’s main priority.

    SteamOS is quite a bit behind when it comes to new features, and HDR/ VRR is improving everyday under KDE.

    I didn’t use Windows personally for 3 years or so, but I don’t miss one thing when it comes to gaming.

    Sure, HDR and VRR are still a bit on the experimental side compared to Windows, but even if it doesn’t work as great, I wouldn’t even miss it when disabled tbh.

    The ability to not having to use Windows is far outweighting the lack of some features for me personally.
