hopefully it will do well enough that it will grant a 2nd... I mean 3rd iteration. ;):rolleyes::LOL:

I have a feeling Bazzite will be short lived once SteamOS is available for everyone.

there's no official SteamOS for desktop PCs, should be coming soon though. Hopefully with better support for nvidia and intel.

IMO Me and Vista are the 2 worst OS ever released by far. Window 8/8.1 wasn't really bad performance/stability wise, but the interface was anything but friendly.

I never understood why Windows Me, it was way worse than Windows 98SE.

You are missing Windows NT, and XP64 if you are really picky. Windows really started with 3.11 and gained traction with 95, but 98SE paved the way to what MS is today, more so from a gaming standpoint. Best Windows OS Ranking IMO Windows 7 Windows XP Windows 10 Windows 98SE Worst Vista...

I think I'm more excited about the Steam VR goggles than the steam machine.

AFAIK there's no official support for a DIY steam pc. You should make it work as long as you got AMD. To think that not so long ago nvidia/intel was king on linux.

I hope 3rd parties get into the steam machine, even after the previous failure. Asus already has NUC experience, so I guess they can come out with something. Although I don't really see them being much cheaper (if any) than the windows ones.

Well at least the SO-DIMM memory can be upgraded, so there's that. I've heard that the controller is pretty good actually, but my main gripe persists, AFAIK people don't really use the trackpads for gaming, since most games already have controller support and for multiplayer gaming you are...

and the system memory and the gpu and maybe even the cpu, and not a fan of the controller either

While I'm curious about how it will turn out, I have a feeling it will be too little too late. From the released specs it may go head to head with a Series X or PS5, but probably won't stand a chance against the PS5Pro, much less the PS6 or next gen Xbox. Price wise, it better be in the same...

I can't count the times I've read that.

Well technically you can do FSR4 with RDNA 3 but it takes a performance hit. You don't want that.

I'm not so sure, Valve can take the luxury of pricing the Steam Machine at very narrow margins even maybe at a loss as they can make up with game sales. Not so with OEMs.
