Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it's now confirmed.

Distros like bazzite have really picked up but they'll always be niche projects in the eyes of game dev and publishers. Steam os at least can help them realise that Linux isn't an instant dismiss because they haven't used it before.

I have friends in AAA game dev and they all have the same kinda dated idea of Linux being this sweaty crazy programmer distro even though we all play games online together.

If valve can carry on increasing the market share it'll definitely help get rid of some stereotypes for Devs which in turn brings more market share.
