Great news!, so since SteamOS is also linux can that be installed on the PS4?. If so then the PS4 could also be used as a Steam Machine??.

PS4 probably can't handle those games at low settings.

But it should be able to handle the streaming mode. for a case where the PS4 would be plugged into the sitting room TV, it would be handy to be able to switch into steam mode and use it like a steam link and then back for PS4 games.

That would actually be a neat feature. If possible that stellar, but a bit worrying that people can break into it like this.

not really it should handle these games but its pointless anyways because Linux is all you need to run PC games like Starcraft 2

Why i left PC gaming

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?
