will this be good as a daily pc?
>>738634775it was finna be if it was boutta be good priced but thats ova now $1100 minimum
>>738634775Yes
Get a mac mini instead
>>738634775Depends on what you do in a daily basis. Shit post and gaming maybe some streaming but I don't expect it to outperform an actual set up
>>738634775to play undemanding games, sure
you can probably install windows on it, so i guess it should do daily stuff fine. for video games it's entry level machine, wouldn't have my expectations too high
doubt it. the steam machine is meant for games so the CPU probably isnt configured to process word or email.
>>738635543It's literally running a Linux fork and you can install another OS on it if you want to, this was literally touted as a feature of it.
>>738635637that doesnt make sense, its valve's game console. does it play games or not?
>>738635725It's a prebuilt PC by a major gaming storefront that have a very strong interest in making a prebuilt PC that doesn't suck dick. Not a console.So yes, it plays games, and you can turn it into a Windows or Mint or Ubuntu or whatever the fuck driver.
>>738635018No gaems>>738634775It'll be fine. You could partition it and install microslop windows. Or you can install any old Linux distro if you find the immutable nature of Steam OS too limited for your tinkering and softwareBut you'll probably not need to do either.What applications do you want to use that you consider necessary for "daily PC"?
>>738635543Sub 90 IQ post, my nigga
>>738635018Your post is the most trannycore post in the whole fucking board.
>laptop Ryzen 5>16GB RAM>8GB Radeon 7600>512GB to 2TB NVMEIt's a moderately okay PCIf you built a midrange or higher computer in the last five years you already have one better than itIt also almost exactly matches the performance of the base model PS5/Xbox Series X
>>738635838so if its a PC why is it being compared to PS5? sounds like a console to me. I guess some consoles like ps2 and ps3 had linux on them so this is a lot like a playstation. not sure why you think it's a computer, but okay, to each their own.
>>738635018>2.01%
>>738636352it's a PC that can optionally be treated like a console, which is the entire selling point.
>>738636352Because when you first turn it on it probably boots right into steam in controller mode and if you never do anything else with it will be like a little steam box hooked up to your TV for couch gaming.It will be brainless like a console and clearly that is appealling to many.
>>738636352For normalfags and retards is a console, for someone with more than two brain cells is just an overpriced cube shaped PC.
>>738636524yeah, so like i said its a console. if it doesnt have a keyboard and mouse bundled its a console, not a computer.>>738636504i think you have it backwards anon. it seems to me that its a console that can optionally be treated like a computer.
>>738635018>Mini PC but without the native support on Windows or the Proton-support on LinuxQuintessential pick for people who fucking hate video games
>>738636667>yeah, so like i said its a console. if it doesnt have a keyboard and mouse bundled its a console, not a computer.It can be whatever you want it to be. By default it mimics a console.
>>738636352You're not here to discuss anything, you're here to start fights. Fuck off.
>>738634775>16gbno
>>738636667>it seems to me that its a console that can optionally be treated like a computer.No, Big Picture Mode is a very thin emulation of a console, if you toggle it off you're in a default KDE desktop.Like the anon above you said, normalfags will never leave BPM besides to maybe install emulators.
>>738636340fitting for my wife's gift then.
>>738634775Windows recently stated that 32gb is the new normal so no i guess
>>738636808I'm not talking about big picture mode, even a computer can do that, I'm talking about steam's actual OS they created for the steam machine which only runs a specialized version of steam for the os
>>738634775Yeah. I got a PC 6 times more powerful than this and all I do is shitpost here on 4chang.org and browse twitter. I wish I didn't spend all this money.
>>738636958SteamOS is a complete Arch-based OS. Everything you need is there.
>>738634775It would actually be a upgrade for me so if it's a good price I'll pick it up.
Everyone is missing the point of this. It gives developers a target system to optimize for. Having it low shitty specs benefits everyone.
>>738637109no idea what arch is, but yeah it has everything I need. I own two steam decks so I'm pretty familiar with steam's os. when I get the steam machine, it'll be the same thing. I turn it on, and all of my games are right there, just like a console. I don't get why those other anons are over complicating things. valve is in the game business, they have no reason to build a computer.
>>738637340Arch is a linux distribution. It's well supported.
>As an office PCYes.
>>738637325>shit specs didn't exist beforedamn thank you Gabe
>>738637628Of course they did but they were never standardized. Devs have an incentive to get the "works on steambox" badge.
>pcbros excited to buy a shitty prebuilt>Again
>$1,000 for business laptop performance, minus a monitorThere are suckers whelped every minute.
>>738634775>will this be good as a daily pc?>linuxNo
>>738638041Most people do the entirety of their computing in a browser.Linux supports browsers.
>>738634775>no jeetsoft os it'll be fantastic
>>738638041SAAAAAAAAAAR
>>738638742>Linux supports browsers.But does not support HDR
>>738634775It'll be quite the upgrade from my current old man hardware
>>738640282Wayland supports HDR.
>>738640730Show me how hdr works on youtube in linux browser, oh wait, you can’t.
>>738640834I don't have an HDR monitor but the video looks different now so I assume it's working
can I play cs2 on it when my msi goes out
>>738634775only works every other day
>>738642680i dont see why not
>>738636340>midrange or higher computer in the last five >years you already have one better than itSteam cube has better hardware than 70% of steam users, for me personally that would be a huge upgrade for me, high-end builds is very niche, I'm excited since I to get away from Sony ever since they increase there PS plus price and release hardly anything exciting to play.
>>738634775Just get a Mac mini if you need a pc there isn't anything better
