The proof is in the pudding. With the pudding in this case being tens of billions of dollars.Top status of the console market is an axiom.

They have the software platform, but to suggest they could go toe to toe globally with Sony and Nintendo in terms of hardware is ludicrous.

This is interesting. I thought Steam let devs/publishers set their own prices. Does Valve actually have guidelines for devs/publishers when it comes to pricing?I'm not a big PC gamer, but Steam is awesome. I just do Steam and GOG. I dont bother with CD keys or any of those resellers even though I know they can be cheaper. But the kinds of games I like buying (often indie card and board games or weird strategy games, those reseller sites might not even have any special keys that are cheaper. Its' the same price as Steam).
I bounce back and forth between Steam/GOG and pick the one with the lowest price.
And amazingly Steam is still sometimes cheaper. Being so dominant you'd think they edge up the prices, but Gabe keeps prices low.
They do let devs/publishers set their prices, only pricing guideline i know of is that steam keys and steam store prices must be the same, same discounts too.This is interesting.

Honestly, no idea - as a console guy looking to possibly move to PC gaming I want something as "console like" on PC for my TV as possible, Steam OS looks like it could do that (and others like Bazzite etc)What are the benefits to SteamOS over Windows?
With Windows, I can do a lot more than play games. I can run office applications, do some Python coding, browse the net, pull up Porn hub, play music on Spotify, etc. Can SteamOS do the above?
Serious question as well.
SteamOS 3.0 is based on arch linux. Whatever arch linux can do can be done with it.What are the benefits to SteamOS over Windows?

Office would prob need wine to run though, or an alternative app as its microsoft'sYes to all

I also just dont get how to write and use Python no matter how much I try sadly.

Yep, there are several Office suites on Linux, and you can always use Google's suite or MS online.Yeah, either LibreOffice or Office 365 in the browser are the best options, imo. I haven't tried Office via wine.
Valve is poised to turn SteamOS into something that basically upends the WindowsOS gaming paradigm overnight.
They have guidelines, but also implemented some restrictions around sales. Things like you can't put something on sale within xy number of days that's a lower price from what you just offered. That's to prevent mass refunding and rebuys if a game drops another 5% two weeks after another sales just ended.This is interesting. I thought Steam let devs/publishers set their own prices.
