Steam box will be too expensive for mass adoption. Sure it will sell ok but it’s going to be priced like an equivalent gaming PC, not like a console.

The folks that game on steam already have their gaming PC. The reason the steam deck sold was portability. People buying the steam box are those with above average incomes to afford two gaming PCs or those that are valve supporters.

Steam box won’t make it suddenly the year of Linux

If it costs the same as a gaming pc, people will certainly consider it for a gaming pc. The big thing, though, is that it’ll legitimize Linux as a gaming option for desktops.

As much as i love using linux i just kinda dont see it tbh.

especially since many have a fear of linux for some reason (I would guess just the fear of the unknown?). So often i have seen people get scared and tense up and just that alone makes them spiral into a loop.

I do hope you are right tho.
