    Tried it. It’s been at least a year and a half, but if memory serves, I think I always had to login for startup. I wanted to be able to just turn on and have steam roll into it’s startup screen like a console.

    Tried 4 or 5 distros and each had an issue that kept me from that console like experience. Ironically, I was able to do that with w11.

    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.

    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 wish Valve would launch an updated SteamOS.

    I’m late to the party and brand new, but I just went through what you’re going through. I ended up buying an A1 based on the potential ability to add AMS later on and potentially print ABS/ASA.

    I was heavily considering an Ender 3 V3 KE, but a few mentioned they just wished they would’ve gone Bambu, even though they had success with their KE. I just don’t have as much time to futz with stuff as I’d like right now, and I want something that’s relatively easy for my kids to use.

    If you’re tight on budget and like the tinkering aspect, I saw an eBay store oddly enough named SovolOfficial, that sells unrepaired and/or refurbished Enders for extremely cheap prices. Like around $50usd for Ender 3’s. If it went for the time and kiddo aspect, I’d be all over that, modding along the way.
