18 months ago I tried to roll my own SteamBox. Games launched from Steam worked great. Everything launched from other launchers was mixed, but wouldn’t launch from Steam…generally speaking. I switched back to Windows and removed the login because I wanted a console-like experience.
I’ll take a look. I tried 4 or 5 distros like Nobara. Had to pull from old repositories. Learned a lot but after a few weeks, I just wanted to play games and I found a way for w11 to work the way I wanted.
I did that, except I couldn’t get Lutris or Heroic to work. Also tried several distros and delving into repositories… several weeks and I just couped get it to work. Ironically, W11 does exactly what I wanted, even with uac.

I wish Valve would launch an updated SteamOS.
If you want something similar to SteamOS I recommend checking out Bazzite.

Try Bazzite sometime. It’s plug and play.
You can configure your OS to boot directly into Steam Big Picture mode, then add lutris/heroic as non steam games.
