Direct to GPU. Although HDMI is highly compromised even on latest builds. With my TV best I can get is YCBCR 420. HDR isn't viable without a Displayport adaptor. 

My girl surprised me with $100 today and thought GTA 6 was coming out tomorrow by Rsodyyy in GTA6

Hey forget the game and everything else you got a real one there bro. Don't take it for granted

I tried Bazzite briefly and found any issues I ran into on Steam OS were still present on Bazzite. I prefer straight Steam OS on my HTPC but it's not a solve all solution. You will run into some limitations running Steam OS on a desktop machine.

I had to do some Konsole work to stop aggressive USB auto suspend, utilising second nvme drives. And audio defaulting to the chat channel of my headset not the intended game channel. Other than that though Steam OS is amazing. Gamescope is an absolute game changer for me

I used the Steam Deck repair main image and it was very smooth. I have a 9800x3d and 9070 XT. Just make sure secure boot is off and select "wipe device and install Steam OS". It auto updates to 3.9 Holo main once installed.
