Is it autism or do they think Linux will become widely used even on desktops?

Because they are worried that Windows will become a walled garden.

Hopefully it will take off, we need an alternative to Win-"first taste is free"-dows

Valve doesnt know what the fuck they're doing anymore.

I think they're still obsessed with the idea of a "gaming first" OS so they're still autistically chipping at this shit hoping to come up with SteamOS Revamped/

they tried to make their own steam OS for their steam console, and i guess thy couldn't run games on a linux-based OS so now they're supporting it to lay the groundwork and try again i guess
valve has always been a company of people who do what they want and like to do. it's why there's still no half life 3

Valve has an oracle in the basement, so they know Microsoft is going down. They're just preparing for the inevitable.

Reminder that they have like I think 6 devs absurdly dedicated to this shit for some reason.

Should have asked that same oracle it's opinion on Artifact.

Linuxfag here, I don't care about games but this could be what makes linux become the normie desktop, and you all should cherish.
OS should be a common, public space, not privately owned, and i say this as a polack.
