From the post:

>Microsoft has rolled out its gaming-focused Xbox Mode to all Windows 11 PCs and devices, including laptops, tablets, handhelds, and more. The console-like overlay aims to simplify gaming on Windows 11 with a stripped-back Xbox-inspired UI that's snappier and more intuitive. After launching on the ROG Xbox Ally X earlier this year, Xbox Mode has been available to Windows Insider users for several months. Along with offering a simple UI, Xbox Mode also aims to free up system resources, allowing games to run smoothly (though our tests show the performance boost isn't substantial).

It'd be nice to build a little PC console to couch game with. You know if components weren't a million fucking dollars a piece.

If you don't care about it running Linux and Steam for the most part...

Check out my post about the BC-250 being repurposed for a steam machine. I was working on one but decided to use it for AI instead.

Don't remember where I posted it to.
