    That would be the case for techy people like us, but growing number of people cant handle anything more complicated than a phone OS these days that I think consoles will continue to have a purpose.

      I find SteamOS to be as un-complicated as any other modern console tbh.

        The complicated bit isn’t the OS, it’s installing it. A console comes preloaded with an OS. That’s what sets us apart from non-techy people.

          Ah ok, yeah. I expect there to be SteamOS/Bazzite boxes you can just purchase.

            That would be pretty dope! That’s even something someone can start a small business selling without needing a license, I guess! Take orders for hardware and then assemble and install a gaming environment based on Linux. Stoinks go brr!

      By the numbers, that demographic appears to be shrinking, not growing. PC has grown while consoles have shrunk.
