I think a lot of enthusiasts miss out on this point. Its trivial for me to install a Linux distro or custom windows software that’s fully managed my controller input but my buddies that have PlayStation s would panic if they encountered a bios screen or a config file.

There’s a market for steam machines but they need to be basically a steam deck with a power supply, an HDMI output and a controller or it will be a non-starter for most people.
