Shower thought: Valve could do the ultimate boss-move this year (discuss.tchncs.de)

If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

not going to be a steam OS user, but its less what you can't, and more that any changes that valve patches in via their efforts on AMD drivers, users would get it first and without any fuss.

One example is HDR support. various distros and DEs kinda sat on HDR for the longest time, with mixed results on implementation. Valve just walks in and implements it.

Yeah but Valve also made that open source at the same time.

and even while open source, its implementation on various DE is still spotty, which is kinda the point.
