I’ve been running Bazzite on a Framework Desktop 64gb and it’s a beast of a little machine.
Honestly way more expensive than I would ever recommend for anyone who’s using it solely for gaming. You could make something just as good, but bigger, for less. Or you could build something good enough and small for way less, depending on the performance you’re trying to hit. But if you’re in that sweet spot where you want a lot of power in a tiny package, it won’t disappoint. You’d be hard pressed to find anything as close in performance and size for a lesser price.
Plus side, you got a lot of vram if you wanna play with local LLMs.
It’s looking like the steam machine is gonna hit that sweet spot of being ‘good enough’ while being small and probably fairly priced.

I wonder how that compares to my mini-ITX Ryzen 5700x3D/9070XT/64GB system. I guess yours is even smaller and better at running LLMs due to the unified memory, but mine is probably cheaper and better at gaming.
It sounds like he just needs one of these
I have one almost identical to this for my bazzite machine and it works great
Hey me too, but mine has an intel arc gpu on bazzite
