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.

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

Thank you for the tip!
