    To top it off, the “benefits” you’re mentioning are literally the same as if you bought a prebuilt pc.

    Do you have a favorite pre-built PC that ships with Linux and Steam installed?

    That’s something I want pretty badly, but haven’t run across a good lead for.

    With a good recommendation, I might not wait for (the Steam Machine in) January!

      Not a fan of prebuilts tbh. As far as linux goes, Bazzite is free so create a bootable thumbdrive with rufus and literally just follow the installation prompts. If you can’t even do that, then maybe you ahould learn how to.

      Why would you want “steam” installed? It’s just a normal program, you can install it yourself in 5 minutes.

        Because having Steam pre-installed signals that the hardware producer planned for gaming and has done some basic testing for gaming.

        The new “Steam Machine Verified” badge is the most exciting part of all this.
