Rich FOMO gamers
Linux FOMO is finally here?
But there is nothing you are missing out on? It's not like this is a switch, or even a steam deck. It's a small form factor PC with SteamOS preinstalled.
The only reason I could think of for buying from a scalper is if you are a journalist (or similar) and need one or multiple to review/test.
They lack the technical skill to install an OS.
If you buy a $3000 PC from your typical boutique PC builder they will probably do that for you. If not for free, then for a lot less than $2000 you're overpaying.
