This is why I play console. I am just too lazy/busy/worn out to learn all that I’d need to know about that side of the gaming world. That’s why the steam machine interested me until I saw the price.
I’m afraid we will disappoint you further here, cause steam machine is just a PC with SteamOS (which is “just” an Arch Linux with few tweaks\changes). So all those issues described above and their workarounds also applied to steam machine.
It wasn’t an insult. I admire that you guys know that much about computers and software. Its like an alien language to me. Dunno why I was being downvoted for self deprication.

Same here.

One thing to add to that list:
