Alphane MoonTesting shows why the Steam Machine’s 8GB of graphics RAM could be a problem
SantasMagicalComfortIf people wanted a high-end couch gaming PC they would just build or buy that.
This is supposed to be comparable to the current-generation consoles and it seems to be right there.
I’m just hoping it paves the way for a public release of Steam OS that I can install on my own hardware (I’m aware of Bazzite, etc.).
I’d have absolutely no reason to run Windows any longer, despite the fact my gaming PC does nothing but boot directly to Steam Big Picture mode.
Unfortunately I think Nvidia will continue to make this difficult.

But y tho.
SteamOS is always going to be mostly single purpose. It’s going to be Vanilla Arch with their Steam Client and Gamescope compositor.
Bazzite is still gaming-focused but also functionality extends beyond the basics.

It literally originally started as an OS for everything, not purpose built for a single device. See: The original Steam Machines.
Valve has already said that the current iteration of SteamOS would become available to install on any machine eventually.

I don’t know what that has to do with what I said.

Were you not alive in 2013 when the first SteamOS released?

Did you forget what you wrote in your previous comment? This should be obvious af if you’re not trolling.

I was and I’m fairly confident it was never marketed as an “OS for everything”, not 10 years ago, not today, and not anywhere in between, but I’m open to being proven wrong.
I did not forget what I said, it is not “obvious af”, I am not trolling, and I understand English. I didn’t say anything that related to or contradicted your statement. Would you care to explain or will you just continue insulting me?

Are you so pedantic you think when I say everything, I mean literally everything and not just, you know, a computer in general? It was built and marketed as a general OS with a focus on gaming, but also just as good for productivity.
