"we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there."

aren't the other consoles just pcs with custom os?

Kinda, but not quite. The main difference, imo, is that consoles have several anti-tampering measures in place, often as exclusive hardware, to ensure owners don't jailbreak. The PC is, by design, open and "unsafe", without measures to stop owners from doing whatever.

Kinda. They are not very customisable. They are locked down boxes. You can't run your normal applications on it, control it with a mouse or keyboard, etc.

Think of them like laptops, they have a lot of components that make them a pc but arent really able to be modified or changed
