    I’m not even a hug Valve fan, but happy to support them for all the work they’ve done to bring Linux gaming to the masses. I can play most my games without issue on Debian, happy to keep throwing money at them and kick windows to the curb.

      In that case just install Linux on your pc and buy more games. They’re not going to make much money from Steam Machine sales.

        Fair point, and I did already switch my main desktop to Linux. That said, its still a positive signal for valve and others that there IS money to be made in the Linux ecosystem. Granted, likely not much, but we can change that if we put our money where our mouth is (those of us who can).

          That’s why I boguht a steam deck. The difference, imo, is that the value proposition of the Deck was far better than that of the Machine. The latter is launching with outdated specs, doesn’t really offer something novel and costs way more than it should. Although, to be fair, the current price of the steam deck is also way too high right now. Specially considering how old it is.
