Dont bother trying a mini PC as a Steam OS Box

I'm a huge fan of SteamOS and the Steam Deck.   This is just perfect as a portable game system,  but I want my games progress to also be on the console in my living room.   Yes I know I can buy a dock,  but 720p gaming on a 90 inch screen  just sucks.   I wanted at least 1080p, so I went down the road of the SteamBox and found 2 things. 1 - the only ISO to use is ChimeraOS, https://chimeraos.org/   the rest are all dumpster fires of unmaintained or something broken. Nobora and Bazzite both have problems with AMD video card drivers.  both did not even try to use the video chipset and were massively worse. HoloISO is dead and buried with even the fork being out of date it also had issues.  it would never let my bluetooth xbox controller  reconnect automatically. Chimera is the only one that gave me a complete clean SteamDeck like experience. 2 - not a single "tiny pc" has enough power to really game on. You need a half way decent video card,  AMD  at least a RX580 GTR or hi
