Cautiously optimistic. I’ll never buy one, even if they do end up shipping to my country, but I’m glad it exists. Mostly for the SteamOS piece getting more Linux into more people’s hands. I hope it takes off. It has potential to break MicroSoft’s domination in both gaming and desktop markets. Of course Valve are still capitalists and will cave to the dollar every time (see: MasterCard forcing adult games off the store), but idk. I’m also looking forward to the wave of (maybe even marginally innovative) clones from other manufacturers like what we saw with the Steam Deck, as well as other gaming-oriented distros gaining a bit more traction. Critical support, I guess?
