Any particular reason you would want SteamOS on a desktop over any other distro? It's pretty much designed for console use, I would not recommend it elsewhere.
Because you want the console experience? A PC can be hooked to a TV as easily as a console, but it's way more fiddly way more often without appropriate software support.
Ooc, does big picture mode on a Linux distro satisfy such a requirement? I'm not sure if you have have a system start into this mode on Linux, I'm fairly sure it can be done on Windows.
I'm also not sure if BPM on Linux has the same level of integration with power management controls and HUD etc, but I'd imagine it's mostly there?
But now you need to run 2 pcs instead of just one.
Why would I game in my office when my couch down stairs in front of a 70 inch TV is so much more comfortable and has no work available to do on it?
Wrong thread?
