My gratitude goes first and foremost to Valve for trying.
The Deck doing what I was hoping it’d do, light a fire under devs to get on board with Linux platforms
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.
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?
Not going to hold my breath after getting a ‘fuck you very much’ reply from their tech support.
I’m hoping we don’t get some signed kernel non sense
In case of a fix for the Deck, this would roll through to the Linux desktop too, right?
