    I wish Valve would release a mini-PC / home console with SteamOS.

    Something with better performance for playing on a TV.

      That could be sweet. Of course, they’ve already tried that, but SteamOS wasn’t really ready then.

      And I suppose anyone can get a random mini PC and install Steam on it…

        There also wasn’t just one model then, it was a mess of different hardware vendors.

        Steam OS 3 isn’t fully released yet no? People just use HoloISO IIRC

      Beelink mini PC + some variation of Arch Linux + Steam in big picture mode

      I still use my Alienware Alpha R1 like this for 2D games and emulation. It still works well, and linux works with a wider range of controllers natively.

        Wow I’d never heard of them, and the prices aren’t too crazy either.

        Ideally they’d have a model with a full GPU with DisplayPort and HDMI2.1 out though as well the USB-C, and then ethernet, mic and headphone jack, usb-c and normal USB in.

        Like I’d love something that could replace the Xbox Series X, but also have desktop mode with a Steam controller or mouse + keyboard connected like the Steam Deck.
