something something quacks like a duck, swins like a duck, it’s a duck. The steam machine does swim like a duck behave like what is commonly referres to as a game console. The steamroller is debatable tho.
The steam machine:
Custom hardware
Custom software and os
Specifically designed to play games
Has a dedicated controller
Designed to work well with a living room TV (HDMI-CEC)
The only difference between the steam machine and other consoles is that it’s not locked down
Can we finally say it? Is the year of the Linux desktop finally upon us??
The year of the Linux desktop came and went honestly a while ago with kde 6 and proton hitting the scene.
Now it’s the year of the Linux pre built.
nah, it’s more like the year of the linux game console, if anything.
Neither the Steam Machine nor this Steamroller are consoles tho
