  They actually do, they’re just locked down from factory

  github.com/SleepTheGod/…/README.md

  Remember that PS2 natively supported this and modern consoles like the Switch can boot directly into desktop Linux.

    I said “with a few button presses,” not “after hacking it and booting from external media.”

      So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc

      The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.

      You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony

      Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3

        A clever enough person can get a useable general-purpose OS running on just about any hardware. The entire point is that it’s user-friendly out of the box.
