DIY enthusiast builds Steam Machine alternative with long HDMI cable and Bazzite

Enthusiast Matthew Brunelle has created a DIY couch-gaming setup by transforming his existing PC into a Steam Machine alternative. This setup utilizes a 50-foot fiber-optic HDMI cable to connect his computer to a living room TV, a Steam Controller 2 for input, and the Bazzite Linux distribution to manage display and audio outputs seamlessly. While not a true console experience due to manual boot selection, Brunelle's configuration offers a more integrated and reliable solution than wireless streaming, with plans to further enhance its functionality.
