You severely misunderstand what that hardware is. There’s ready few videos on how to make a PC in that price. JayTwoCent is probably one of the better ones.
And then you’d need to learn the basics of Linux and solving issues related to gaming, that does not bother me (I like to hack stuff and set up Chinese handhelds lol) but it bothers my PC gaming Windows friends.

I don’t want to make a PC. Just like I don’t want to build my own ps5
Then you are in the same price range as PS5 but freedom of PC.
What freedom?
If they are buying premade it likely comes with Windows
Nothing stops you from installing arch Linux btw
we say the same for consoles so that doesn’t matter though ps5 linux is being worked on currently at least the PS5 is a BSD (FreeBSD11)

It’s like an extra $50 or a few beers for someone to put it together for you.
I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted as that’s okay. Plenty of solid press builds too. But takes little research to find the best brand.
