From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Admit to not reading the whole article but does this mean they're finally going to officially release SteamOS 3 for desktops? Or am I stuck with hacky ports from the Steam Deck?
Whole article? It's 10 sentences.
Didn't even open the link probably
I don't think that the unofficial steamos ports are "hacky" if you mean unstable or bad.
Not directly helping with SteamOS 3. But this financial support is helping Arch improve.
Right. We all know Steam Deck is running on Arch. And also that Steam previously did publicly release SteamOS for awhile (Debian based). So hopefully one day soon they get ballsy enough to push a new/modern official linux build and profit. They haven't even taken the old links to the SteamOS builds down. I mean c'mon!
