That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.
To be honest, my Linux daily driver is a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and it has served me well for the last 6 years.
Still it’s not what I’d get if I had to choose again.
So if I have to upgrade from my Steam Deck/Playstation 5 gaming combo, it’s probably be a Steam Machine, even if it’s way less poweful than Helix.

They wouldn’t lose money for the same reason Steam doesn’t lose money; they sell them at market value. That’s (part of) why they’re so expensive.

Yeah I know. What I wanted to say is that it would be an incentive to buy one (and convert it to Linux) if they were losing money on every unit.
