During AMD's latest earnings call, AMD CEO Lisa Su confirmed that Valve's Steam Machine is "on track to begin shipping... early this year." She should know, since it features a custom AMD chip with a 6-core Zen 4 CPU + 28-core RDNA 3 GPU. https://www.techpowerup.com/345960/amd-confirms-steam-machine-in-early-2026-xbox-soc-powered-by-rdna-5-in-2027 #SteamMachine #AMD
Which game supposedly needs more than 8GB of VRAM? I want to test it on my #SteamMachine .

I’m getting extremely close to being able to use a Linux HTPC to replace my AppleTV. I just need a good remote that works with Steam Big Picture mode and I think I’d be happy enough with it. I tried the flirc Skip 1s with flirc usb and it’s so close. I can control my TV, soundbar, Jellyfin, and YouTube with it but I can’t really control Steam meaning I can’t switch apps. Not sure what to try next.

Steam Frame and Steam Machine will be another good boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall too https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/steam-frame-and-steam-machine-will-be-another-good-boost-for-flatpaks-and-desktop-linux-overall-too/

#Whatsmissing is a button in #Steam to allow people to wish that a game would work on #SteamDeck. Shouldn’t matter if it’s in my library (of shame) or my wishlist (of shame).
If it’s a game I’d *like* to play, and it doesn’t support playing on SteamDeck, I’d like a simple and measurable way to let the developers know about that desire.
Same for the upcoming #SteamMachine and #SteamFrame devices.

The upcoming Steam Machine is an (almost) cube-shaped mini PC or game console that runs the Linux-based SteamOS and features a custom AMD CPU and GPU. It also supports swappable face plates, and Jsaux is showing off some concept designs. https://www.reddit.com/r/JSAUX/comments/1p0bj2q/ink_or_pixels_well_continue_to_update_all_product/ #SteamMachine #Jsaux

Quick reminder on the likely reason why Valve's New Steam Machine only supports #HDMI 2.0:
""At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.""
This is what Alex Deucher, the maintainer of the amdgpu #kernel driver, said one and a half years ago here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417#note_2303163
And from the ticket it looks like the problem remains.
See also Alex's earlier comment from early 2021 in the ticket:

""HDMI 2.1 is not available on #Linux due to the HDMI Forum.""
