I got my Steam Machine on Thursday and after running initial updates, I tore it apart and installed my Crucial RAM and 2TB SSD. So far it's running great, 32GB and no apparent memory instability issues. On the fresh SSD I installed SteamOS, then repartitioned it to shrink SteamOS to 1TB and made two 512GB partitions, then installed Arch and Windows on them. Triple boot with rEFInd is working well.

    1: Why tf would you put Windows on a PC built for Linux?

    2: The next Windows update is going to nuke your bootloader because M$ can't play nice with other OS's

    Mainly for development purposes. I plan to use the Steam Machine as my new travel PC and for my work on OpenRGB I want both Linux and Windows for testing. I use Windows to reverse engineer the official software and protocols for devices so I can reimplement them in a cross platform way to work across all OSes. Also maybe for Fortnite, the only game I still need Windows for, though my friend group hasn't been playing lately, I know how to fix the bootloader, spent time getting a customized rEFInd config going.
