This is what I was thinking. For a first iteration to get out the door immediately it could just be windows with a "game browser" that launches full screen when you turn it on 😂
It wouldn't be Windows, it'd probably be a variant of Astra Linux.
The year of Linux may finally be among us.
It would have to run steamos or something the complexity of all the always-online launchers that modern triple a games has is something that steam handles well, and likely a huge trip up point on any frontend slapped on a windows pc
Essentially just Playnite then?
So? That's literally an Xbox...
It's literally not an Xbox.
That is literally what the first Xbox was. It's internals was a custom mboard running a Celeron 700 and 3.5" HDD (can't remember what the graphics was based on, maybe a GeForce MX?) with a customised Win2k OS.
All approx. It's early and I can't be bothered confirming those specs are 100% accurate :p
