@chris I feel this, Chris. You know, I've been a primarily PC gamer for more than a decade, but there are certain events that kept pulling me back to consoles, or console-like devices (such as Steam Deck).
My recent review of the ridiculously powerful HP Omen almost tempted me into finally building another PC for myself, but seeing how bloated and expensive GPUs keep getting, I just... it really turns me off.
I'm with you. Give me a SteamOS box with roughly the power of a PS5? I'm happy.
