How dare valve support a project they are using to make it better!
This video makes me happy. Clear, concise, and no BS. Thank you!
where can I find that mousepad?
I would like to see more collaboration from Valve in the front of incentivizing native Linux ports instead of funneling people to use crutches (Proton). Just lower the fucking dev tax to 15% for anyone who provides and maintains quality native ports and we're golden. It isn't that hard to do (never was).
Could this change bring Bazzite back to Arch?
When I tried to install Arch two years ago the only possible way to install Arch was with the automated Archinstall, ironically the reason for that was expired keys which hopefully will just become a thing of the past because of Valve.
Expired keys have been a consistent problem for the entire time that I've tried using Arch over the last two years. I would rather re-format than try to update Arch (updating almost always breaks things).
If Valve can fix that then Arch would instantly become the best vanilla distro.
In the Vtuber world, Hololive also has that reputation of "do nothing and win". People get hella mad at companies that just want to do the thing lol.
The only thing holding Valve back with Steam is keeping it closed, but if they open source, the biggest issue goes away. Valve is spectacular for appealing to us linux users who always get disrespected, and to make their effort count, more people need to adopt linux to further support the market Valve's made.
it's means nothing
Nobody wants to be OBS Studio
I was excited when stadia came out cuz it was based on Linux and I was hoping Google would contribute more upstream like valve is. What a horrible flop that turned out to be
"In gaming", I know exactly ONE game that needs that change….
People use Arch because they want to be cool without the burden π
Iβm sure that Valve Used Arch Linux on SteamOS and it even liked the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment
That quite cool, that Valve is so passionated about the Linux!
Thanks for the video!
I want a new steam linux desktop distro
All praise to gaben!
Valve contributing to a project they are profiting from is a rare case of …morality? from a company.
People are desperate for the anti-cheat thing to be solved; I am not so concerned but I would be happy if there was a way forward. Until then, no games with invasive anti-cheat I guess.
Valve will get a lot of power and control over the servers and the Arch distribution, what will happen when they decide to change politics and maybe to stop everything one day ?
uss bro
Valve. Keeps. Winning.
"But they take a whooping 30%!"
AND LOOK WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH THAT SHIT.
My respect for valve is increased by X10 by this move
Means they have new corporate overlords.
Aren't the Enclave evil, though?
It's all good. More companies doing this? I don't care. Might be good, might be bad. Case by case.
I like thse two. I think they'll do good things together also. One of the rare cases where I see it benefiting others as well.
Valve's Proton has single-handedly made gaming on linux possible without blood, sweat, and tears
I trust valve with this
>valve exists
>wins
What's funny about someone being concerned about Arch being turned into a "gaming distro" is it has always been considered the unofficial go-to for gaming just due to its default minimalism because that's really what makes a gaming distro actually a gaming distro, you want as few resources as possible being used by anything other than your games which is also why most of these distros that advertise themselves as "gaming" are a joke because they're always bloated af.
I have my linux fundamentals down, does anyone know a good webpage to get started on my own arch linux? Ive tried a lot of linux distros but i really want to try to make my own arch.
WP Engine could learn from this!
Damn, you've gone flabby… π
This is what I don't like about Arch, and becomes a problem when you maintain packages in AUR as well. Fedora (or any other) has this better managed, as they are build against a version.
Arch could build against snapshots, but its messy. In my opinion Flatpak, appimage and even snap, solves issues like this. Other stuff can be packaged into a container (docker/pod).
I loved Arch over the years, but it really has issues, and no one wants to see them.

I'd be interested in that link about secure signing enclaves but it's not in the description…
Half the reason Arch is awesome is because they have great docs for most systems, I wouldn't know half what I know about my own distro without their docs.
Got nothing to add here. Valve working on ARM64 Proton sounds to me like they'll blow Windows on ARM out of the water.
What more could you ask for? π They're on a roll and I am here for it!
Very good valve will cut off that shit of Wayland soy boi
Typical valve. They stopped doing nothing by doing something so that they can stop doing anything even more!
I think Valve have currently so much good-will that I'm a bit worried about what happens when Gabe eventually dies. New leadership just forces everything to become shit for short-term profit, and I'll be a bit sad
I'm not a steam deck owner myself, but I think it's success has had a positive impact on Linux as a whole. Given that success, and what they owe Arch for that success, this is thrilling. Any help to make infrastructure maintenance easier opens the door to actually improving my favorite distribution! This also means that Valve is signaling future investment in the Steam Deck as a platform, and is great news for people that care about it more than I do. Granted, I don't think anyone thought the Steam Deck was going to be a one-off product, but this is confirmation that supporting Arch helps them support their products going forward. I'll be watching how that hardware involves with great interest. I just realized I just quoted Palpatine.

It seems like I am the only not an ARCH person π€
I will never make a "by the way" joke ever again if we get Half Life 3 out of this collab.
Valve is allowed to not suck because they aren't publicly traded
