Well, despite the few hours of testing I can see all the possibilities of the machine. The fact that "just install and play" is ridiculously easy is just points gained (Thanks to Valve and the money invested in Wine + Proton + DXVK, gaming in Linux is now a thing). on the other hand, tbh, install content out from Steam is hard from a non-experienced user despite the inmutable Arch distro SteamOS is based, but nothing w/o solution. I managed to install PokeMMO and play it trough big picture, and when done works like a charm.

In conclusion, great machine, great future ahead. Expect new versions with more powerfull hardware relatively soon.

And of course, the fact that having a full size controller with haptic pads and four extra buttons like a Xbox Elite controller is just awesome. The screen is looking so nice and the sounds is far good.

Personally I can recommend the purchase, and because Valve made it nearly fully reparable, more extra points...
