The Japanese love small multifunctional gadgets so it makes perfect sense.

The actual answer is Vtuber.

Maybe that’ll give a good reason for game companies to start developing games natively for Linux.

I wasn’t open to it before but I’d love a steam machine. It’d use it on my other monitor like I do with my macmini.

I have a mini PC running linux on my living room, which I use like a more powerful steam deck. There are distros designed to boot into gamescope modes of that’s your thin, so. “steam machine” experience is definitely doable.

Valve should look at bringing back real steam machines because the software is finally there to do it well thanks to Proton.
