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
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.
SteamOS is making huge strides for adoption, i look forward to more people being freed from corporate lock in.
Steam is a corporation bud

Maybe so, but Steam itself is still proprietary, closed source software.
It is, but you are not really locked in it
since when you can get your steam games outside of steam? because if not thats the definition of locked in
Sure. Still a corporation and not your friend.
Steam is not a corporation, it’s an online video games store lol
… Sure buddy
