I’m really dubitating between a steam machine or a framework desktop, which will he a bit more money but more powerful.

I love framework computers, but unless you’re working with LLMs and can leverage the high VRAM, you’re better off building your own desktop if you’re comfortable. The desktop represents a very specific niche, and the repairability of a traditional ITX desktop handedly beats that of the framework desktop.

If you don’t have a strong preference, at least chose the one which will have more support. Choose the Gabe Cube

I would think the framework would be somewhere around twice the price per performance but we won’t know until release.
Seems like if you’re leaning framework a self build makes more sense. I don’t see the value proposition of a framework desktop if you’re technically literate enough to be on lemmy.

I am leaning to the framework over self built because I like the power efficiency and want to support a company that I believe in. Also I refuse to give NVIDIA any money even if its indirectly by purchasing a used gpu.

It’s not a particular support worthy company IMO theregister.com/…/framework_linux_controversy/
If you want the devices for technical reasons, sure, but from moral standpoint they aren’t better than the next tech company.

Just remember the framework doesn’t have a pcie slot long enough for a graphics upgrade down the road, it’s only 4.0x4

AMD and Intel offer quite nice GPUs.
I recently purchased a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16 GB RAM. It does the job.
