This. Game support is a lot smaller, but user-friendly Linux distros have long become more hassle-free than Windows.

And it's not really that difficult to use. The GNOME Shell GUI is just vastly surperior compared to Windows Explorer. My girlfriend only used Windows all her life and it took her just an hour or two to get acquainted with the UI and to get VLC and other programs up and running.

I agree its a better OS however the fact it lacks games/contents is the biggest problem because Steam Machines is all about games. Thats the beauty part about Windows and why we pay for it, because the support is there. Also Windows 10 is a great OS for gaming, we arent talking about Vista here. Windows 7, 8 and 10 are amazing OS's for gaming which doesnt warrent a change of OS. Why would you want to sacifice your games line up for an OS you wont notice a difference in performance? 

Win10/Steam is the best combo for PC gaming right now, Linux lacks the game library, Mac also lacks the game lineup and DX12 a feature exclusive to Win10 and wont be available for Mac or Linux anytime soon (From what i know). Your biting the bullet more leaving Windows gaming for a little gain in an OS. If Win10 sucked at games i would have gone Linux long time ago, however it doesnt. Valve is one of my favourite gaming companies in the world and yet they stuffed up with Steam Machines and this Linux crap.
