That is basically what Steam Machines were

Damn I totally forgot that existed! lol
Yeah I do remember those things, it was a cool idea, slightly janky at the time and their expectation for others to develop games natively for linux was a bit too bold, but it was very good for what it was. I will say that what we have with the Steam Deck and even unofficial Steam OS is way better in every way imaginable though. I imagine if Valve released Steam Consoles now, they'd be a smash hit, because as it is, there isn't very much out there for people who are looking to get into PC gaming on a budget, and Living room gaming on PC is fiddly and clunky. SteamOS and Steam machines solve both of those problems.
