    If you’re putting CachyOS on it anyway, then why wait for the steam machine, can’t you just use any old desktop? Or is it just the call of the lovely shiny new hardware?

      I want one because it’s got a proper HDMI-CEC implementation for a living room TV device, it will run silently, and it’s tiny. I also have a Steam Deck, so I expect to use them together quite often.

      I am aware I can get a different PC right now. I don’t want one bad enough to do it though. I also may not buy a Steam Machine depending upon how the price shakes out. I was thinking maybe $600ish when they announced it, but it’s not worth $1k to me given its modest capabilities.
