The Steam Machine... Eh.

I have a gaming laptop a few years old that I installed Bazzite on and hooked into my TV. It works as my living room gaming PC already and feels like a Steam Machine already :)

Wakes up from my Xbox controller, sleeps and resumes games perfectly, etc.

I do not have a gaming laptop though, and if Steam Deck has taught me anything, it’s that a Machine from Steam will have unnaturally long relevance and pretty cool support from Linux enthusiasts.
