        I’ve been feeling for a while now that Nvidia’s more recent approaches to open source drivers has been encouraged by their background talks with Valve, getting pressured by such a wildly successful new device.

          I’m willing to bet it’s mostly AI, which is what caused Nvidia stock to skyrocket. Linux is the dominant platform for AI work. They definitely don’t want flaky drivers on Linux going ahead.

    I’m out of the loop and I don’t own a deck but didn’t Valve have a Linux OS years ago?

      SteamOS 2 came out almost 10 years ago (!) with the release of Steam Machines in 2015. That one was public but it seems Valve has pulled the links to download it. SteamOS 3 is what is on the Steamdeck which isn’t publicly available yet.
