It can be nice. It takes mental effort to manage an open system and make sure you don't run anything malicious - a limited, sandboxed environment you can always rely on to work is much easier by comparison. I do miss the PS3 linux option though. It would be great to have console hardware that boots in two modes - a console mode for playing games, and an open x86 mode for doing general compute. This is especially relevant now that current console are effectively PCs with custom software rather than having specialty instruction sets. AMD even already sells broken PS5 chips as barebones systems! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h08cMFwqRc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h08cMFwqRc
