Why sad?

  Because it should be a given and super boring.

    Particularly when we were already doing this in the late 90s with the original Xbox. I ran debian on mine. I would have thought we'd have soft-mods to allow this within a couple weeks of any new console launch, and perhaps the hardware vendors would even be supporting it by now.

      Yeah, but alas, since they sell the hardware at a loss, they really don't want you using it for anything that's not "buy games from us". I was really looking forward to the Steam Machine but the RAM shortage ruined their plans.

        Same. I'm still going to get one someday. I want to support gaming on linux, and the steam machine was what made it great.

          Oh I'm definitely getting the whole suite, just to support them. I don't even game that much (though the Steam deck made me game much more).
