If the hardware has the compatibility for it, then yes It probably is what they have in mind, but they could also go the route with some custom system. Unlikely but not impossible.

The issue if they go custom, is how much ground they’ll need to cover to reach SteamOS levels of plug 'n play

If it can outperform the steam machine, nice The question is, is it gonna be a console-like experience? Just plug and play?

Having the most powerful hardware won’t matter at all if we can’t figure out a way to make people who aren’t tech savy be able to just sit down and play on it, without needing to know what Proton is.

The appear (AFAIK) of the Steam Machine, is this, you plug it in, grab the controller and go play, even if it doesn’t have the most top-of-the-line hardware, being hassle free is a huge win over any other. Specially given how now, the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Switch 2 are direct competition. And they’re simple for a end-user who isn’t tech savy (well… Subjective, I find the Xbox UI to be a convoluted mess)

I blame my entire music taste on NFSU2 soundtrack, it is just that good

Even without being a car person, nfsu2 is a really fun casual game, it isn’t overly difficult, the AI is competent enough to be fun but not be unfair, customization let’s you just play with every part of it visually, while performance stuff keeps quite simple (stage 1, 2 or 3, and then you go to Dyno for more if you want to dive there). Also the game is in depth enough to have quite a lot to do in it

Also a nice thing, my reasoning is just that I like a bunch of small bash scripts I can look inside and go “oh, so that’s why it broke”

$ sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-openrc wireplumber wireplumber-openrc pipewire-pulseaudio

Then you use:

$ rc-service --user pipewire start

$ rc-service --user wireplumber start

$ rc-update --user add pipewire

$ rc-update --user add wireplumber

I only switched to Artix cuz I like OpenRC

Can’t wait for steam to be confused as fuck when it sees my hardware It is gonna use the bringus studio chinese pen statistics for my pc

ls -lah

“Fragging” For some reason my brain immediately went to Quake 3 Arena

Do you have a spinning fish display in front of your homelab server, right? We all know the spinning fish improves performance and security, it is a indispensable part of homelabbing

That’s how propaganda works. The goal is to make you physically hesitate to look at news when you see a fucked up headline after waking up, because your brain just knows that you’ll either function as a normal human being, or read that news and be fucked up for the entire day

Do not piss

Demon Turf was such a vibe for me, can’t wait to get my hands on the full Demon Tide myself soon!

Cat is scared cuz it thinks humans found the catnip
