    AMD Fine Wine Technology ™️ is definitely a thing with their opensource drivers. Value helps a bit now too but rising tide and all. I think the creature comforts of steamos do stand out. Easy menu for system level FSR for example. Resume game from shutdown looks great too.

    Those make it compete to game consoles at least. If you can tinker it’s about the same (with ups and downs) to any other distro.

      Sure, but you can (allegedly – I haven’t actually tried) get that on any AMD system, not just the Steam Machine.

        Exactly. The “made easy” part is a pretty big sell for a lot of people. Heck it’s a sell for me and I love tinkering, but I have plenty of other projects lol
