Wooo! I am ready to purchase the Steam Machine whenever it comes out and install CachyOS on it. Can’t easily install KDE Bigscreen + Waydroid TV on SteamOS. I expect with the AI bubble it will be at least $1k unfortunately, and won’t be available in white at launch.
Then the Nvidia Shield + SSD + Game Native on the main floor where the Steam Machine will go, will replace the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom, the Raspberry Pi will become another MotionEyeOS security camera, and the main desktop will remain connected downstairs. It is the perfect middle ground between the Shield and Desktop PC. And the Steam Controller is the perfect controller for couch gaming.
My siblings and I have about 2000 games between us with family sharing and on other platforms (shout out to freegames@feddit.uk & SteamDB sale tracking for helping us get a lot of the way there), it will be more appealing to play multiplayer games there in the livingroom. And that’s not including all of the legally available retro console games from the Internet Archive via IAGL.
If you’re putting CachyOS on it anyway, then why wait for the steam machine, can’t you just use any old desktop? Or is it just the call of the lovely shiny new hardware?

Sweet. Gonna blow all my money on new Steam hardware this year.
