What's stopping the Steam Machine from becoming a successful computer with Linux, if priced accordingly? You heard me, not gaming console, but a computer.
Small footprint, (allegedly) great support... Game mode for 98% of all the games in the world and Desktop mode for general use (KDE should be easy to learn for a newbie).

You can install any distro on a mini pc, you know? And pre-installed ones already exist, you know?
Now, go back to >>>/v/, you know?

Normies too dumb to even use desktop mode or switch out of "big picture" or whatever they call it now.

Nothing basically. It's going to depend on how Valve manages the product and SteamOS.
