    Ooc, does big picture mode on a Linux distro satisfy such a requirement? I’m not sure if you have have a system start into this mode on Linux, I’m fairly sure it can be done on Windows.

    I’m also not sure if BPM on Linux has the same level of integration with power management controls and HUD etc, but I’d imagine it’s mostly there?

      You can boot to it, and disable lock screen, but it feels OK but meaningfully worse on Linux, and awful on Windows.

      It’s worth it for a dual purpose machine, but for a dedicated gaming system a purpose built OS has value.
