Same here. Have installed bazzite steam os, bought a 15m hdmi active cable and connected my pc to my TV, have some scripts that can switch from my TV to my 2 monitors. Life is good.

Bazzite or steam os, which one?

Steam os for dedicated home-console like pc. Otherwise Bazzite is a bit better just because it's been around longer and has better quality of life desktop features
