Valve (Steam) begin a direct collaboration with Arch Linux https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/valve-steam-begin-a-direct-collaboration-with-arch-linux/
Article updated with a little added clarification, see the bottom.
@gamingonlinux #TIL SteamOS runs on #Archlinux.
@gamingonlinux in b4 "I use SteamOS BTW"
@gamingonlinux They are collaborating on my pc for the last 5 years, btw!
@gamingonlinux this headline probably made certain nerds instantle cum in theit pants
@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social secure signing enclave is scary. Sounds like something to “fix” anti cheats
@skymtf @gamingonlinux I’ll take a transparent open source anti cheat implementation over some proprietary ring -1 black box cooked up by Riot’s developers any day of the week.
@notthebee@tilde.zone @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social my issue is this limits user freedom which is in direct conflict to Linux philosophy.
Does this herald a future edition of SteamOS that is officially targetted for and supported on desktop, in general, @gamingonlinux ?
That would presumably be a hedge against a certain end-of-life that's looming next year. Valve are preparing a feel-good, shrink-wrapped, fully supported desktop OS to offer to users who don't opt for a spurious hardware refresh for which they never asked.
Valve do care about the health of "the desktop" as a concept. Without TPM or AI.
@charlie i wouldn’t say so no, Valve already use Arch for SteamOS so it’s just work they want to see
I actually doubt we will see a true desktop SteamOS release, it’s a *lot* of work for Valve
@gamingonlinux @charlie Isn't Valve already working on creating an official release of SteamOS that could be installed on anything? I thought I heard about them planning on it at least.
@gamingonlinux

@danddv77 sure would be nice if Gamescope had more yes
@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social A really bad and weak system
