Fınally, year of the Linux desktop is here!
All 3 of the new hardware seems really cool. I'm very excited. These probably won't be sold where I am, but I'm considering getting a steam controller from a 3rd party seller if it turns out to be cheap enough for me.
I'm surprised that they kept the "Steam Machine" name. I thought they would choose a different name to avoid any negative connotations. It is a very cool name though.
Also this goes to prove again that Steam/Valve is not a monopoly. If this "small" team of 350~ people in a private company can casually beat Microsoft's market domination, Every other game launcher/storefront + The 17 Billion dollars Meta burned into their VR Hardware and "The Metaverse", this is nothing but a case of crippling incompetence from their competitors.
Proton feels like they are speedrunning entering into new product categories while their existing offerings crash and burn. Its a shame, they could be amazing so easily.
