Had pleasant surprise
So I've been wanting to get Windows off my main PC. The only issue I had was managing 3 monitors. In desktop mode I'm able to use them with no issues. So out in my living room on the coffee table I have a 16' portable monitor I use when I want to game and watch a movie or show with my wife. In Windows I knew how to switch the monitors. So since steamos by default looks for HDMI I wanted to switch to that monitor. I went into game mode and both monitors shut off that are hooked up display port leaving only the one monitor active. So now I can play in the living room and when I'm done switch out from game mode back to desktop turns back on my monitors and turns off one in the living room. So pleased it works this well bye Windows.
