The Framework Desktop combined with the open-source Linux distro Bazzite provides a compact and powerful PC gaming solution that supports 4K/60fps gameplay on a TV. Bazzite, inspired by SteamOS and Steam Deck’s game mode, allows users to play Windows games via Proton compatibility and switch to a desktop mode for work. The Framework Desktop is smaller than a PlayStation 5 and quieter than typical gaming PCs, with configurations ranging from $1,099 to $1,999. Users can dual boot Windows and Bazzite to separate work and gaming environments. While some Windows apps and games remain incompatible, many popular applications run natively or via compatibility layers. Setup is straightforward for users comfortable with Linux, and the system supports easy switching between operating systems. Despite some limitations with certain games and services, this setup is seen as a promising step toward a modern Steam Machine-like experience for living room PC gaming.
