Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Good, I believe that SteamOS has the ability to bring Linux to the masses, but we don’t need a repeat of last time.
Genuine question: what happened last time?
Steam Machines. They were supposed to bring PC gaming to the living room but didn't live up to that promise.
StreamOS was a bitch to install on an ordinary PC then. I tried multiple times and just got a black screen or it didn't boot at all.
It sucked.
I ran it. it was fine for the games I played but it made my fans rev up like jet engines.
