[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday (lemmy.world)

I would argue that a PC without a keyboard, dedicated to gaming is a console.

Was the PS3 fat a PC? It ran Linux.

i'd differentiate it by the kind of it's ui. linux will still feel like a desktop operating system, made for mouse and keyboard, whereas the console has a controller friendly interface. probably not much of an issue if you boot into steam directly through.

genuinely curious, is there any linux DE that is optimised for being connected to a tv and controlled by remote/gamepad from the couch?

There's a few retro distros but I'm no expert.
