If you don't plan on touching the traditional desktop, by far the fastest way is to just have Steam boot into BPM/DeckUI on Windows startup. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Do you have any advice on what you usually do to make that process as seamless as possible? Any particular gear or software you’d recommend to make it an easier pick-up-and-play proposition than PCs sometimes have the reputation for?Įdit: Also open to recommendations on specific accessories / good wireless controllers / keyboards with minimal input lag since I’ll probably do a haul of those things too. The advantage of playing a game with full power at home and being able to pick up via a cloud save exactly where I left off on the Steam Deck when I travel is a ridiculous proposition.Īs someone who’s mostly been a console gamer my whole life, with some dabbling in computer gaming here and there, I’ve never dipped my toe in the pond of trying to use a desktop gaming PC as what is essentially a home console. After thinking through the fact that all six of the games I finished this year so far have been on a Steam Deck, I ended up pulling the trigger on a desktop PC with the intent of wiring it in directly into my TV as a replacement for a couple of the home consoles I’ve been using.
