Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console

Oh cool! I might have to try this out!
If I can get this to run on “console mode” and ssh into it for my server needs, that would be awesome

All Steam installations include the SteamOS GUI “Big Picture Mode”, so you don’t need to install SteamOS to use the nice console/controller interface. I believe you could just set Steam to launch on startup and also configure Steam to open in Big Picture Mode by default

Well I know what I’m doing after work this week.
I have atomic fedora cosmic, so I’ll see what levers I need to pull to make this work. Maybe I need to add steam to the os tree and break it out of its flat pack.
Thank you for the tip!
