If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I agree with you.

But my point is someone that bought a W10 pre-built computer is not the person looking at the steam machine saying "Maybe a different operating system would improve my experience"

They may very well be thinking "steam says this works for everything I own" though, the OS likely isn't relevant if it still has a browser.

But what you're saying is that it is to provide people with an alternative path from windows.

Even if the steam machine had windows on it, the majority of the same people would buy it.

My point is very few people are going to buy the steam machine to get away from windows

"Steam says this works for everything I own" Purchased no matter what.

Not "I want a new PC without windows, let me try out the new steam machine"
