So much this! I have 20+ years in IT as well, and I just want a plug and play box, that has HDMI Arc, and can play my Steam library at 1080p or higher.
Steam os is also probably the best usability / stability linux for people who don’t want to know or care what a linux is.
For what it does i think it’s a very intuitive OS; and desktop mode is pretty good too. It’s genuinely terminal free linux, so for all those who cant terminal, then it’s accessible.
Can you install steamos on a regular pc? will it work as well?
If its cheap enough i’ll buy it to replace the USFF pc connected to my tv, just for the controller interface as an alternative to mouse.
It could seriously attract some gamers who are hating windows direction, but scared of linux.
TBF stemdeck already does this, so it’s just for sofa+tv gamers really.
