PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don't want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!

Yep.

I'm a die hard Linux nerd, but I would still Rather have a console.

But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux so I can keep it updated and fix minor issues without all the bullshit.

i'd argue that a console running linux would be a PC, even if it's plugged into your living room tv

I'd argue the replaceable parts and software are what defines a PC for the vast majority of users. Small subsets of users may chase FPS or the highest quality render. But, the vast majority spend more today to spend less long term and want to be in control of their software and hardware.
