The steam machine is DOA. It’s less powerful than the base PS5 and series S. It doesn’t have DLSS because it’s AMD. It is woefully underpowered and is going to be expensive as hell for the lackluster performance to boot. Oh and it can’t play most of the most played MP games, or the upcoming GTA6.
I mean, I’d read the post you’re commenting on a bit more carefully before thinking DLSS is a good thing…
And it really isn’t as bad as all that. I suspect you’ve never tried Linux gaming.
In any event, Steam Machine is only one device. Steam Deck is already quite successful, so it stands to reason that the next gen one will be as well. (And less relevant, but Steam Frame is also looking like it could be a knockout hit for VR)
DLSS is amazing, no matter how many GPUs Nvidia sell or what they say in their financial reports.
It really is as bad as that. Linux isn’t gaming magic. Most games run better on a fresh Windows install than on a fresh Linux install. Linux isn’t going to make the steam machine perform above its specs.
I don’t need to try Linux gaming, nor do I want to because I play online games almost exclusively, and they generally don’t work on Linux.

Not true.
Also not true. Again, it’s clear you’ve never tried it.
