Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open

$279 or $290 - RX 7600 GPU, or RTX 5050 (up to preference. The 7600 is generally comparable or slightly better overall, but you will see much better with it on Linux. On Windows the 5050 might be the better choice)

If you want it to be like a Steam Machine, you should definitely go for the AMD GPU so you can run Steam OS on it.

Good point. Though personally I prefer running EndeavourOS, I like having an up-to-date kernel and mesa improvements.

  Since SteamOS is Arch based (same as endeavour) shouldn’t it also have up to date kernel and mesa?

    Maybe should, but it doesn’t. Current kernel is 6.16 as of the SteamOS update 3.8 last week. Endeavour is up to 7.0.12. SteamOS is always a few versions behind.

    SteamOS takes snapshots of Arch and spends months testing and bug fixing for their hardware
    
    It doesn’t pull directly from Arch

    The fixes should mostly still get pushed upstream though
