bit too extreme of an example. I think valve has done a LOAD more positive than negative when it comes to linux
Edit: I don’t understand why its controversial, valve has gotten a TON of attention to Linux in the past few years. Once (or if) they release the Linux desktop distro, Linux supported software is going to skyrocket.
This isn’t even mentioning Proton which has made a TON of games work compared to how few it was a few years ago. Modern AAA titles can run on Linux no issue! It’s amazing!
I understand valve doesn’t fully embrace the FOSS mentality, and for some people that’s a negative, but I think even getting people trying Linux is a positive or at the very least a step in the right direction.
Linux is gaining popularity in the average person and I really look forward to the future of Linux.
As a linux gamer, I have a hard time hating valve.
It’s a co-dependent relationship.

What have they done for Linux, exactly? The only thing I’m aware of is the Steam Deck.
this is kinda like asking “what good has the metropolitan line done for urban transportation?”
oh they only literally invented the concept of a subway, no biggie
Most games work out of the box on Linux thanks to steam, and in a lot of cases better than om Windows.
i’m glad to hear minors gambling are funding linux gaming.
