Any new computer for $1000 bucks is going to have middling performance these days, I don’t think Linus was arguing against that. He just appreciated the curated experience and whatnot. I’d argue that I’ve had a very similar experience on Kubuntu, but I will also say that the updates haven’t always been as smooth as on my SteamDeck, but then again that’s also true on Windows.
In the end I’m just glad that Linux is getting more attention overall. Maybe someone will see this, decide that the Steam Machine isn’t the best for them, and install some other OS with KDE and have a similar experience. Whatever you think of Linus, him saying that 2026 is the year of the Linux desktop is a positive thing.
Just realizing that the PC i built myself as a teen for about $1000 back then would probably be like $2000 in today’s money, not even counting the recent spike in RAM and storage.

$1000 today is like $500 back then…
Yeah I’m literally helping my cousin install cachyOS after he watched that video to try out Linux on his gaming laptop
