FYI, Debian already did that.

A) The quote from the Valve dev does not mention the kernel, but overall OS updates, which is exactly what I said.

B) The kernel and Mesa...

Can you point me to that statement then? I would be highly confused it that would be the case, because the kernel is extermenly easy to replace. They...

Sadly not true, Sid also freezes. During the freeze only experimental is rolling. There are proposals to change this, but no consensus....

Sorry but I actually think you have no idea what you are talking about. There is no reason for wine to be installed on SteamOS, because Proton/Wine runs...

I have to correct you, I'm talking about Debian Stable Backports: https://backports.debian.org/

No, it is user friendly. Yes it is if you compile stuff on your own download binaries randomly from the internet, it might not. But if you want to use...

As long as Rust enforces their crappy, distro unfriendly "every is statically linked" build system, I'm against it. Yes this doesn't apply here...

Good. Distribution should pick it up as an additional package for older hardware, but let's focus on "new" (aka non-ancient) hardware.

[9Strike]

I'm more interested on how packageable it is. Will we get it in a state were it builds sanely? If it's only available as snap and distros don't package...
