I would guess it’s a lot of people finding out the price of the Steam Machine ($1049 with no controller is a lot!) and deciding instead to run Linux on a PC instead
If this were the case, then they’d be zipping through the waitlist. I’ve been waitlisted since release (with the small hope that prices come down by the time it’s my turn, otherwise I’ll most likely give up my spot lol) and I’ve seen no emails about it since then.
They have been selling them, but they are also struggling to get RAM allocation. My guess is that they are being held back by RAM (and possibly storage to a lesser extent) and aren’t able to make them fast enough to satisfy the current demand.
Many tech influencers have been advocating Linux due to how bad Windows is and how great Linux is at this point. I’d expect most growth to be coming from there.
