  None of those consoles would directly boot into desktop Linux with just a few button presses.

    They actually do, they’re just locked down from factory

    github.com/SleepTheGod/…/README.md

    Remember that PS2 natively supported this and modern consoles like the Switch can boot directly into desktop Linux.

      I said “with a few button presses,” not “after hacking it and booting from external media.”

        So what you’re saying because Valve supports it out of the box is the limiting factor between a console and pc

        The hardware supports it; it could be a PC if you want.

        You skipped over the PS2 and how it was a console and marketed with Linux support directly from Sony

        Let alone Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3
