Personally, I’m looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE’s port to Qt 6.

      Steam/Proton/Gamescope work outside of steamOS. Valve contributes to open source software, including linux amd drivers, that can easily be used outside of steamOS

        Valve contributes to open source software

        Maybe so, but Steam itself is still proprietary, closed source software.

              As long as the game does not depend on Steam APIs for DRM (which is not Valve’s fault), you can absolutely copy over the game files and play it outside of Steam, and even use Proton, although it’s only officially supported in Steam.

                sure except if you dont have access to your account you dont have access to your files which means you can get cut off at anytime for any reason. plus you need proprietary software to download those files in the first place afaik

      While what you say is true it is also irrelevant to OPs question. SUSE is a corporation, so is canonical, so is mozilla’s corporate wing. can you clarify what your point was, pal?

      edit: ah, i used the word corporate, fair point then. I meant in the sense of vendor lock to defacto standards rather than ‘corporate bad’.

        Yeah not what I meant. Steam store is proprietary, you can’t move your games from them and they are the one that kick-started always online DRM and lootboxes and basically surfed the wave of online money laundering.

        Corporation or not they are not your friend,never were and never will be.

          They’ve made my life more enjoyable for reasonable cost, they bring vast amounts of resources to open source projects, and they deliver a platform that the least technical of people can use an enjoy. You’re free to say they are not your friend, but i won’t make perfect the enemy of good.
