Can someone give me a rundown on why the projects being funded are significant?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It allows programmers to be paid to work full time instead of just for free in their spare time.

I probably could have phrased that better. Why are the projects that are being funded significant? Apologies.

I believe they're providing cloud compute infrastructure to compile packages that they probably use in their steam decks... But that's half-guessing after having the same question popping up in my head..

Valve is generously providing backing for two critical projects that will have a huge impact on our distribution: a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave.
