I feel like in a few years Valve is gonna have another go at Steamboxes, and both Sony and Microsoft are going to end up being caught off guard.
What's stopping you from building your own Bazzite Box right now? (ChimeraOS is great too. ) Honestly, the things that make me most excited are
the combined rumors of Valve developing for Arm and
the Asahi Linux presentation from Alyssa Rosenzweig that shows you can run modern games from steam on Linux on arm mac NOW. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/aaa-gaming-on-m1.html
Valve's first party custom hardware is coming.
I can build a new PC or whatnot, but one thing that has helped the Deck along is that it's established a clear standardized set of specs that some developers have chosen to build for. Obviously there have been plenty of games that won't run on the deck, but sites like ProtonDB basically create a sticker for "this runs well on the Deck."
