Just buy a video game console at that point.

I mean that is what he is asking for, but with the added benefit of doing whatever the hell we want with it too. Personally I'd be down for that too

Steam Machines were the solution, but no one fucking bought any of them so the market decided OPs desire was a waste of time and money.

The OS was also very limited with focus on Linux ports of games which there were not very many at the time. Proton wasn't a thing yet. I bought two of them, one for myself and one for my brother. I tested it out & it was neat but wiped both to do clean installs of Windows 7 so could play the games we wanted.
