  • KDE Plasma Bigscreen is the Ideal, XMB-like Environment for GNU/Linux Gaming Devices Connected to your TV

  • Desktop Mode on a Living Room "Console"? You know what I meant.

  • This will gain notoriety when Valve starts distributing Android apps on Steam. I imagine the following process:

    • People buy a Steam Machine, after a gaming session they want to watch Netflix and they can't.
    • Valve responds with Android apps for streaming services.
    • The FOSS community reacts and builds an alternative.

  • Linus Tech Tips “disappointed” Steam Machine won’t be priced like a console - Dexerto

    Jump

  • With a $500 pricing it would be sold out eternally. It would be a revolution.

    +$700 = Niche product

    +800 = DOA

    The Deck while also underpowered sold well for a reason.

  • Epic Games Store users can now gift games to friends

    Jump

  • This. Corporate public traded company CEOs criticizing Valve as a monopoly when they alone made PC gaming the best platform ever to play games is freaking ridiculous. In exchange for our money, Valve gave us more than anyone else. The return we get is far greater than with any other gaming company.

    Praise the GabeN & GOG.

  • Playnite may get a Linux version during 2026 as the creator plans a move to Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah, a jellyfin for ROMs, how cool is that? Client integration is a must though, otherwise what's the point?

  • Steamworks SDK adds support for Linux Arm and Android, and it seems we know the first Android game on Steam

    Jump

  • If the Steam Machine ships without a dumb-proof way to use Netflix, Spotify & YouTube, it will be a weird thing to have in a living room.

    They better deploy Waydroid not only for ARM but for x86 too.

  • Wait for the Steam Machine pricing announcement. After that, make your choice.

    But if will come down to:

    Convenience & Console level Specs

    Versus

    Hard work & High end Specs

    That said,

    If you have an old PC or laptop you can use to start getting cozy with Linux, you can flash a USB drive with Aurora if you want a preview of what Desktop mode is like on Steam OS or Bazzite.

  • Playnite may get a Linux version during 2026 as the creator plans a move to Linux

    Jump

  • AND he does this for free, so we aren't entitled to anything.

    Also, on another note: Playnite could very well be the first Linux client with RomM support.

  • the machine will be priced as a pc and not as a console (whatever that means)

    Steam Machine 2: DOA 2

  • HyTale has been acquired by the original devs and is going to release into Early Access

    Jump

  • Does anyone know if they have worked on controller & splitscreen support or if it is in the roadmap?

  • [Discussion] Should this community also cover the Steam Machine and/or Steam Frame?

    Jump

  • Yes.

    We are the niche of a niche. We need more content, as long as it's relevant.

  • Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders

    Jump

  • Cost aside. If they don't price it competitively between the Xbox and the PS5, the Steam Machine will be DOA.

    The Deck is a perfect example of what they should try to replicate. If they don't do that, it will flop.

    Fortnite is coming to the Xbox PC store

  • Microsoft must be pissing their pants right now.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • At 1k, it's DOA.

    I'll be getting one and 4 controllers because my kids love the Steam Deck and I have a family library full of games.

    But at that price point it won't be able to appeal to people looking for a console. It will only appeal to the tiny segment of PC gamers that already have a Steam game library and want the native living room experience because streaming sucks.

    The majority of PC gamers don't care about couch gaming, this is why most PC ports don't have splitscreen.

    I love local coop and Linux, so for them to thrive, I hope Valve makes the right call, again.

  • Valve is about to win the console generation

    Jump

  • "Flexible" doesn't sell as much as "Easy"

  • Valve says they want SteamOS to be installable on any PC

    Jump

  • I agree.

    But as a sidenote, a few interesting facts:

    • Debian is older than Google.
    • Arch (2002) and Fedora (2003) both have outlasted more than 298 Google projects.

  • Steam Machine

    Jump

  • Well, they already did that with the Deck, they earn very little from the hardware. Chances are they'll do the same.

  • Valve's new Steam Machine and Steam Frame and implications for Linux

    Jump

  • Steam Machine

    If the Steam Machine really takes off, I see way more people moving to Linux on their main rigs and laptops, and in turn making companies stop ignoring it, if it becomes a massive success I imagine:

    • Mainstream games like FIFA supporting Linux
    • Apps like Affinity Studio being distributed through Steam officially supported via Proton.
    • Epic games will be the last company to keep ignoring Linux.
    • Valve adopting Waydroid for SteamOS (for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, etc)
    • NVIDIA will redouble their Linux efforts.
    • Greatest than ever VR support in Linux

    Steam Frame

    • Lots of Linux apps will work on Android desktop mode, like LibreOffice, Inkscape, etc.
    • Linux phones will receive a lot more maintainers and funding.

    Steam Deck

    • Android apps on the Deck via Valve's Waydroid
    • Steam Deck 2 on ARM

    Other

    • New use cases for ARM will motivate RISCV to speed up it's growth.
    • KDE & Arch will receive more funding from Valve
    • More contributions to the Kernel
    • More Linux developers
    • Increased security for Linux
    • Flathub will grow

  • Steam Frame, Steam Controller, Steam Machine announcement is expected soon, here's a first look!

    Jump

  • FUCK YESSS

    I'll get 4 controllers and a Steam Machine for my kids.
