You say "PC with a linux OS" I would mean thats a very poor description..

A more acurate description would be "Box for the tv" (designed as a modern console) whit a custom made gamer OS..

You do know that a Steam machine "device" will function as a console in all ways.. ? 

The fact that there will be more models and settings.. does not mean any for the "is it a console or not" debat.. Point is if you took that Alienware steam machine home.. it would look and function.. way more "Console" than "PC".. and I bet that all people not knowing about steam machine would see a console.

You're telling me that if I install SteamOS on my PC, it becomes a console?  

I dont think you mean like transform.. but work as a console.. :)

No.. when you use steam machine on a windows/linux or mac computer.. its only a program on top of windows..  you still have to use a keybaord and mouse some times.. and steam will only update the program (not the hole system/drivers)

But it would for sure make it more "console like" (when you have the program open)
