This is very achievable today with off-the-shelf hardware paired with ChimeraOS or Bazzite.

I just discovered Bazzite and am excited to try it. Just built a PC for my kid and Windows hates it. Can’t run for 10 minutes without a blue screen. I’d wanted to try an Atomic Desktop originally but thought the gaming support was too weak. Hoping Bazzite gives me stability and the gaming ecosystem…

If you are running into BSODs right off the bat, that sounds like you could have faulty hardware (bad memory, sketchy PSU, etc).

Agreed, it’s worth cleaning contacts and reseating the memory modules to start with.

I recommend SteamFork which is a bit closer to upstream SteamOS. It's an install and forget kind of experience.

Not really the same plug and play experience as a Steam Deck offers though.

I personally wish that Framework works with Valve to release a version of Steam OS for their motherboards, so one can retrofit an old Framework laptop motherboard as a TV console.

Well, yes, you need to know how to boot up an installer and go through a typical Linux distribution installation process. After it first boots though, it can be handled solely via the Steam UI.
