That's pretty sick. I wonder what the performance is like.

Too bad I can't jailbreak mine anymore since I've played H:FW this year.

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

@nivenkos Yeah that is correct I believe, still no actual release of it besides system images for Steam Deck.

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.

This is not Steam OS but a outdated and unmaintained Manjaro iso with a hacked together Deck UI.
