      SHHHH. The console plebs won’t know. This is the type of product we need to open their eyes to the wonders of PC gaming.

        Just like the Steam Deck was sold to appeal to the handheld market, but the reason it had any success is because its a competent PC. Hopefully the steam machine actually takes off this time because the more gaming focused linux PCs there are the better linux itself will be supported.

          And much like the Steam Deck, allows more freedom than just playing games. It enables use of the computer itself unlike consoles of the past. You buy an Xbox or a PS, and youre restricted on its use.
