- Comment on Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point 5 days ago:
Yep but the common person doesnt want to install anything they juat want to buy sonething and plug it in. Thats why desktop linux wont happen untill they can go into a store and buy it on hardware and stream machine is the closest we have in this day and age for that to happen.

The weird part is I think a lot of the disappointment comes from a lot of people with even high-end gaming systems wanted this to be the thing that replaces it just because they hate windows so much and because it wasn’t as powerful they couldn’t just buy this box and it would just do it

I have done this it’s not that hard if you use two disks so you can run on one then bootstrap the other then share the the home directory over. I guess you could also use BTRFS and run on two subvolumes and do it on one drive.
I would also add an extra hard mode going from a Linux distro to a bsd distro
