Valve have confirmed the Steam Machine's price will be comparable to a custom-built PC with similar performance, rather than subsidised like a console.
All Steam installations include the SteamOS GUI “Big Picture Mode”, so you don’t need to install SteamOS to use the nice console/controller interface. I believe you could just set Steam to launch on startup and also configure Steam to open in Big Picture Mode by default
I have atomic fedora cosmic, so I’ll see what levers I need to pull to make this work. Maybe I need to add steam to the os tree and break it out of its flat pack.
Oh cool! I might have to try this out!
If I can get this to run on “console mode” and ssh into it for my server needs, that would be awesome
Maybe then I’ll just need to buy the steam controller

Well I know what I’m doing after work this week.

Thank you for the tip!
