The Deck doing what I was hoping it’d do, light a fire under devs to get on board with Linux platforms
I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.
It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?
Watch it support the Steam Deck and only the steam deck with no other Linux supported
That may very well be the official stance, only officially supporting SteamOS in much the same way games used to only officially support a single major distro, often Ubuntu. However, I don’t see it actually stopping you from playing on other Linux systems. The functionality is there at that point. It’s just a matter of making sure you have whatever it depends on from the Deck.
I mean like valve provides some sort of hardware based attestion so gta v can verify its running on a steam deck.
