Personally, I’m looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE’s port to Qt 6.

    Steam/Proton/Gamescope work outside of steamOS. Valve contributes to open source software, including linux amd drivers, that can easily be used outside of steamOS

      Valve contributes to open source software

      Maybe so, but Steam itself is still proprietary, closed source software.

            As long as the game does not depend on Steam APIs for DRM (which is not Valve’s fault), you can absolutely copy over the game files and play it outside of Steam, and even use Proton, although it’s only officially supported in Steam.

              sure except if you dont have access to your account you dont have access to your files which means you can get cut off at anytime for any reason. plus you need proprietary software to download those files in the first place afaik
