I dream of an alternate timeline where the Steam Machine is $600 and sells close to PS5 units, people flock to it, companies are forced to release every game on Linux, anti-cheat is user-space only, and gaming & streaming hardware gets 1st class support. Then content creators want creative software, people donate to GIMP, Krista, Inkscape, etc. Canva releases official support, and it keeps on Rollin’ n’ Rollin’.
It will quickly sell out despite being like $1500.

And we were so close, until AI happened
Gods that’s a beautiful tech dream :)
Let’s ban closed source firmware and drivers while we’re at it.
And that branch only forked a couple years ago 🙃
It’s not all bad. I just compiled ocarina of time on my Linux pc and ran it natively at 144fps using keyboard controls.
Well yeah, it will probably sell out fast, but I meant its price will probably be the main issue
