I think you'll like Playnite if you're coming from the console side. There are fullscreen mode themes making the UI look similar to PlayStation, Xbox, Switch console, and so on. It's extremely customizable.

Regarding Windows and a console-like setup. I think the fullscreen mode they'll do with the Xbox Ally X could improve things. Assuming it comes to regular PCs. From the sound of it you can dodge the Windows desktop completely.

Oh wow, that looks excellent! Thanks for posting what it looks like. That motivates me to set it up.

I'm also hoping the Xbox Ally X full screen mode eventually comes to desktop seamlessly.

And updating/downloading updates while in sleep mode. Not even the Steam Deck is able to do that. It's one of the best console features. My recent games always patched and ready to go.

Windows 8 introduced a connected Standby mode where your PC could perform maintenance tasks whilst in sleep mode. You can defiantly wake PC's from USB, my laptop used to do it when you moved the mouse (that was connected using a USB dongle) but I think EU power regulations might restrict how much power your PC can use in standby. I'm surprised Steam hasn't introduced support for that, although i guess with different vendors and implementations, it could get messy.

I just so regular windows/big picture and use Unified Remote on my phone or tablet. Pretty easy to set up and it works. It also helps with splash screens.
