Hearing that is so refreshing. Microsoft/Google would never put something like that on their website because you are the product.
Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders
Stefan_S_from_H@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks agoI found an answer on the Steam Machine page: Yes, Steam Machine is optimized for gaming, but it’s still your PC. Install your own apps, or even another operating system. Who are we to tell you how to use your computer?

It’d be really funny if it’s designed specifically not to meet Windows 11’s arbitrary requirements. You can install Linux though! :D

They said that you can change it if you want, but did they say they will provide Windows drivers for their semi-custom Ryzen chip?

I just realized that “another operating system” can mean so many things that aren’t Windows.
We need to be patient and wait until some crazy people defile their Steam Machine for Internet points.

It’d be interesting seeing Microsoft in a position where the vendor isn’t automatically making their drivers for them. It’s a massive advantage they have.

I’m pretty sure that is up to AMD and not Valve.
