I've had Big screen work before in Raspberry Pi 4 (even made a meme about back when I was tinkering around with different OS's on it to see potential uses for my rpi), but Orange Pis are cheaper and the hardware is more open source, so I'm curious if I would get better responsiveness out of it. Plus the Orange Pi I have has 8gb too.

I like your Steam Big picture idea too.

Don't know, have been thinking of making something easy to use for awhile for some of my family members anyway. But has to be really easy since they're not the most tech literate (well may my mom and definitely dad. If he can use whatever I make, anyone can).

I'm trying big picture out on my 8th gen Intel mini PC with endeavouros and plasma and getting pretty bad performance. Probably missed something in configuration, but I'm just gonna try steamOS and see how that does.

Edit: Realizing now that the steamOS download link redirects to steam deck recovery image, still waiting on non steam deck image. I'm gonna try chimeraOS instead.
