Then its just another console with different OS that uses off the shelf PC hardware. Which the consoles mostly do. You would still need to port them to [Gaming OS] to run them. The whole benefit of the consoles is the standardization of the hardware AND the software platform. I *think* you are saying you want to break this down to a software only standardization with an OS specifically designed to run games, ala Steam OS. But if you have to allow for customization, you lose both the benefits of standardization of platform and the multifunctionality of the PC. It seems like the worst of both worlds.PC gaming has long been held back by the limitations of Windows as its primary operating system. If PCs could break free from the need to run Windows, it would open the door to more innovative gaming experiences, such as dedicated Steam-based PCs and customizable, streamlined operating systems specifically tailored for gaming. This shift could lead to greater performance optimization, reduced system bloat, and creating new possibilities for custom gaming setups and competitive alternatives to traditional consoles.
Maybe I am misunderstanding: You want someone to rip out everything non-game related in a PC OS but still allow for (some) hardware customization options? So like an Android/Apple curated garden split? Help me understand.
