View submission: Questions around building a dedicated SteamOS PC or go with a Steam Deck?
Haha, that's a good idea. Tell him to install a plain Arch Linux, with a KDE and Gamescope Steam big picture Session, from the AUR. Also choose RADV mesa drivers and Wayland. Those are the key components and decisions to be made.
Regarding your last question, not sure if I understand you. Steam client comes with Proton support, which allows you to play Windows games, just like Steam Deck. You don't need to stream them from another machine. There is built in stream option though in Steam, like in the Deck.

Yes, you are correct. Forgot about the Proton support, which means no issues with running any games. This is sounding better and better. Can't wait to get started.
