Microsoft… always two steps behind. They always just wait for someone else to demonstrate a successful idea, and then use their deep pockets to buy a piece of the pie.

If anything, I see this as Microsoft trying to kill what the Steam Deck can become.

Right now, the Steam Deck is one of the best selling Linux computers. You are also starting to see other manufacturers look at the Steam Deck and compete against it in hardware while using Valve's free software. From that, it isn't much of a jump to putting Valve's Linux stack in desktops and laptops.

That would be a classic Microsoft move.

Oh ok so that’s when Valve starts to enshittify. We’re ok for a few more years.
