Valve Helping Arch Linux With Build Service Infrastructure & Secure Signing Enclave

Things like these are the reason why I buy my games from steam store.

Fantastic! Valve guys are smart. They know that the only way to make their OS better is to improve it from the ground up in upstream, not just put thick layer of downstream patches and hacks on top to only serve their interest and only support their hardware.

Awesome
valve not being based challenge (impossible)

Proton for ARM found shortly before Valve announces direct funding to bolster package build infrastructure automation for Arch Linux...coincidence? Maybe. But damn I'm really hoping this is the push needed to get automated builds for an official ARM spin of Arch Linux (potentially laying the groundwork for additional spins like Risc-V).

If the fabled Steam Deck 2 ends up being ARM-based, it'd only make sense for Valve to get upstream supporting the same architecture.


Michael No mention of Valves new updated EULA removing a mandatory arbitration clause in favor of a clause protecting the rights of their customers to take them to court?

Valve + Arch + Linux = 3 words... Half-Life 3 confirmed!

Valve is one of the better billion dollar corporations. Thanks Gabe!

That's what happens when you aren't publicly traded. I firmly believe the stock market is the main driver to why so many companies are so terrible to deal with.

Thanks Valve and Gabe. To few companies and organisations try to push the Linux Desktop. It's very nice to see!
