    It’s not about killing Windows.

    It’s about slowing making G*mers comfortable with the idea of Valve’s own closed off ecosystem.

    They have already made G*mers comfortable with not owning their games, loot boxes, micro transactions.

    This is just another example of Valve being the money grubbing, monopolistic, anti-consumer company that they’ve somehow got away with for years now.

      I’m not sure that Valve working to making Linux gaming a smoother experience is a strong example of them being money grubbing and anti-consumer.

          Unless some major structural changes happen at Valve (Gabe leaves and/or the company goes public), I sincerely doubt they would ever do this.

            Gabe. The same Gabe that has profited off micro transactions, lootboxes, and selling unfinished games. That Gabe?

            You already have to use workarounds to get non-steam games to work on SteamOS.

            Let’s not forget that this started back ten years ago now with the failed Steam Machine concept.

            Gabe needs to pay that fleet of Valkyries he has bought somehow.
