I’m using bazzite on my pc connected to the TV and it’s been a great experience: I can play using a controller on most games thanks to steam input and overall it feels like a classic console experience on par with Xbox Series X (with some steam mods you can also have the quick resume functionality)

What steam mods are you using for quick resume?

I know some people use the pause games Decky plugin in combination with a large swap file to swap between multiple games at once.

This is great to hear. I've been considering a setup like this. I'll have to try this out.

Eventually I'd like to build a new desktop exclusively for gaming to keep near my media center and then just use a docked laptop for productivity work. Currently I just have a long HDMI cable run to the TV which mostly works until I want to do something on my computer while in the middle of a game.

Yeah you can also connect a wireless HDMI adapter and use the desktop mode as well (though you can’t play and use the desktop mode at the same time)
