OEM interoperability/functionality guarantee
The last big game dev holdouts will agree to target Linux if the PC userbase jumps significantly and Valve guarantees a standard expectation with technology with things like rolling kernel, latest libs, steam functionality, etc.
A general image for SteamOS is not going to solve this. If you buy a PC from Dell and install SteamOS on it, there is no difference than if you installed Fedora. Secondly Valve is building from the the same sources as every other distro, if SteamOS supports it, every other distro does. In the cases of things like gamemode and gamescope, you can install these or they come with Bazzite and friends too, because Valve already devs these in the open with community and groups like Collabora.
There’s still a lot of stupidly annoying things that are missing like proper wayland (valve->frog) and its resultant features like HDR, VRR, etc.
Gamescope is open so any distro can use it. Desktop compositors are shipping these features already (SteamOS already uses upstream KDE). Not sure what the problem is
The linux packaging problem from 20 years ago is still a problem (albeit much less) which Torvalds himself mentioned Valve would just say “screw it” and bypass/solve the problem via Steam (which they did). The issue is the remainder. Kernel updates are all over the place depending on distro. Everything Ubuntu is technically out of date because SteamOS uses Arch. Fedora gets you closer at least.
SteamOS uses flatpak, every other distro uses flatpak. Ostree atomic distros (Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite. ublue (bazzite and friends) use flatpak. Modern kernels are on every distro, especially Fedora and Arch. Non-existant problem IMHO
It’s really just that OEM guarantee that would get it moving quicker. Although it might not even happen tbh, Valve said they weren’t that interested in competing against Microsoft which makes sense because its still the primary OS of their customer base.
Again, a SteamOS general release is not going to get you any more OEM support than installing any other distro
Why would they do that when the community already does? - nothing valve is doing isnt already in Fedora/ublue or Arch, people who say they are going to switch when Valve puts out a general SteamOS image are just wasting time and procrastinating

You opened it by moving the mouse pointer to the upper right or lower left corner.
in the corner and then gesturing the mouse up or down. The fact they put this abomination onto the server version, trying to do that at in an RDP or VNC window was the worst. We moved as much as we reasonably could off Windows Server at the time, and rushed standardising on server 2012 for the stuff we couldnt when it came out just because of how toxic interacting with Server 2008 was. I mean a Win for EoL software, but still
Emulators for them but not for us
yes - ctrl + shift ) splits the kde konsole
if you're worried about the integrity of the sources you're installing from why are you using app images? Use a repo, or flathub
Id rather just sign in with my gpg key
I love that its "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi ... Bellend"
The TOS on Firefox is a bit shit, but TLE is also going the click bait angle lately, last week he was riling up viewers about some comments from Fedora's Matt Miller about Flatpaks on Flathub (an area that Miller is not an expert in, nor should he be considered one), Nick saying he could no longer respect Fedora in the Video, but then in the comments walking it back.

We got married in 2011, moderate sized wedding and reception. What a waste of money. If I'd do it again I'd get married at a registry and then take the family out for dinner. Result would be the same and I'd probably be $20k AUD richer. 🤷
Being married is fine and pretty chill. Weddings are stupid
