The CPU is a Ryzen 7900X - which has integrated graphics - paired with a discrete RX 9070 XT for gaming. Two monitors sit on my desk connected to the motherboard&rsquo;s video output (iGPU), and a long HDMI cable runs from the RX 9070 XT to a TV in the living room.</p> <p>The idea is simple: play games on the TV without touching what&rsquo;s running on the desk. On Windows this would mean &ldquo;just connect the TV and extend the desktop.&rdquo; On Linux, I want something better - a fully independent gaming session on the TV, with Steam Big Picture UI, HDR, VRR, and gamepad-only control, while my Wayland desktop on the desk keeps running untouched.</p>
