If you want it to be like a Steam Machine, you should definitely go for the AMD GPU so you can run Steam OS on it.
Good point. Though personally I prefer running EndeavourOS, I like having an up-to-date kernel and mesa improvements. With regard to the 7600 vs 5050, I was recommending the 7600 because of the recent improvements for VRAM prioritization on 8GB GPUs on Linux.
Since SteamOS is Arch based (same as endeavour) shouldn’t it also have up to date kernel and mesa?
Maybe should, but it doesn’t. Current kernel is 6.16 as of the SteamOS update 3.8 last week. Endeavour is up to 7.0.12. SteamOS is always a few versions behind.
SteamOS takes snapshots of Arch and spends months testing and bug fixing for their hardware
It doesn’t pull directly from Arch
The fixes should mostly still get pushed upstream though
The context of my comment was the previous poster thinking SteamOS should be up-to-date due to being Arch based.
I was explaining why it’s so far behind
