    There’s merit in a steam machine

    I ended up removing the ‘gaming’ part of my gaming pc because of how little I game on it, it’s just my workstation now

    I can’t bother to set up window stuff even if I got a separate pc to game on

    İf anything, I would at most get a steam deck considering that it’s basically just a better switch, and Nintendo switch was amazing

      i’m failing too get what you’re saying here, you said you removed the windows partition of your pc, and that you dont game on your pc because of how much of a hassle windows is?

      Because if that’s the case you can play basically any of those games on any linux distro

        No I don’t game on my gaming pc anymore and setting up a totally new pc would take a day of setup and week of config before it’s ready

          I’m confused, what’s so complicated about it? Surely you can just install Steam and go, no? If you run Linux, you can just use the Flatpak if your package manager doesn’t have Steam.

          Could you explain what’s so different about your machine that it would need a week of config? Are you running a hackintosh or something?
