My brother just gave $1300 for a macbook pro, which comes ONLY with an intel 6000.... 
Now he is learning why lots of big titles are not coming to osx like dying light, since you just can't play it or there is not enough playable userbase...
I don't think Steam machines will destroy windows base, but am pretty sure they could make linux even more attractive in terms of a bigger gaming base.
Maybe not the first one, but The second gen of steam machines will probably nail it.
And everyone and their mom is probably ordering a $50 steam link, which if counted also runs linux/steamOS.
with SystemD Stateless systems, BTRFS, Wayland/Mir , Snappy packages, convergence, EGL, Vulkan, etc. Linux will surely become in the following years that SUPER DESKTOP and Gaming OS we always dreamed ! NO WONDER MSFT IS EVEN considering OPEN SOURCING WINDOWS, because linux/foss will just be a beast to reckon with..
