Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Why can't the framework desktop be on the TV?

I don’t think it has hdmi cec the way steam box does.

Plus I use it as a server and it constantly has most vram used by ml models.

For instance, the Framework HDMI module card is not explicitly advertised as supporting HDMI-CEC, but the Parade PS186 chipset inside of it does, and the card itself is detected by cec-ctl and works as expected.

This may just be referring to Framework laptop though idk

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

Maybe then I’ll just need to buy the steam controller

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!

Gave this a shot... something is horribly wrong with my system, for whatever reason steam could read my controller but never responded to any buttons in big picture mode.

Also, apparently my controller works as a mouse though, which is pretty neat.

I'm on atomic fedora, so I'll try out bazzite (had no idea it was that easy to switch distros on atomic)
