@gamingonlinux Microsoft Products are not an option for myself. I don't like the idea to give this company money. And I don't like the focus and direction of the company.
Valve Steam Machine on the other hand builds upon my preferred eco system. The foss community and Linux. It is not one against the other, it is about creating something together. As they proved they are not just building upon others, but are contributing upstream.
