...the OS isn't proprietary, there's one piece of proprietary software installed. (not counting blobs)

Steam is an app, not an operating system.

I just set

upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

I do care about this, I just believe your path will move nothing at all whereas valve is making linux a viable option and contributing to open source immensely, their client is built on completely free software and you can easily uninstall it, they can't fork linux and gnu or any of their drivers to make it proprietary so I don't know what you're worried about

If you want to get caught sure

I'm okay with valve replacing microsoft as the go-to proprietary operating system

You have to recognize that having an open source almost everything except a single program (steam) is better than what windows is doing by miles, right?

You can't win everything, steam is never going to stop being proprietary, but steam will cause open source to flourish with the caveat that it itself is not open source. The issue is not as black and white as you're making it seem.

Plus if steam wins, getting people to switch to fully open source operating systems will be a lot easier.

here's an article explaining the changes, that article was written before they were merged, but they're merged everywhere now except wlroots. That's coming soon too.

Actually wait until the next de releases hit repos, all the nvidia problems just got solved

Now that explicit sync has been merged this will be a thing of the past

I should've waited to go to college, when I went my mental health was terrible and I was only there because I was told I had to or I'd be a failure. I failed miserably because I had no motivation, years later I have found my passions, I wouldn't do trade school, but I wish I had known what I know now about myself
