View submission: Steam OS on consoles ?
Things Sony and Microsoft sure as hell won't let you do on their consoles: Let you install your own OS.
They are ryzen based systems so shouldn't steam OS run on them just fine?
Ryzen based chips? Yes. But they are not PCs. They are not x86 PCs, they don't have the necessary functionality that a PC operating system expects to find and even requires to run.
Now, if these companies ALLOWED other OS's to be installed, sure, someone could develop an entire port of Arch and Steam OS to those platforms, but that's also never going to happen. Sony got quite 'done' with 'OtherOS' on the PS3 and MS never allowed it.

Remember when the PS3 could run Linux? There was a whole class action about it
