This is awesome, hopefully this means we might get new living room Steam Machines in the future. That would be very cool. I know you can build your own by getting a cheap AMD mini PC and installing unofficial Steam OS on it but it would be nice to have the real deal with an official Steam OS version.
Mini PC/PC with a script to run
gamescope -fe -- steam
on boot is as close as you'll get atm. That will run Steam in fullscreen embedded mode.I have a PC all set up for it but there is a bug with 10xx series NVIDIA cards that causes the screen to go black when the cursor is hidden. Very upsetting. Need to throw an AMD card in there.
That's why I say they should be AMD mini PCs, since Nvidia has issues with Steam Gamescope and big picture. Also the mini PCs with an integrated AMD APU are far more compact, more ideal for a Living room setup that'll have to fit in an entertainment center, or even behind the TV in the case of Wall mounted setups.
