SteamOS, Linux, & Microsoft's Valve-Sized Problem, ft. Wendell of Level1 Techs

SUPPORT US! Get a Microslop T-Shirt! https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/microslop-parody-t-shirt This is just a fun discussion with Wendell of Level1 Techs to talk about Valve's exit plan from Microsoft Windows, SteamOS' development, and whether Valve is a trustworthy steward of Linux. We also talk about why Windows may be an "existential risk" to Valve's business model, the impact of publishers on retailers like GameStop (and Valve), and more. Mostly, this is just supposed to be a fun discussion and asking about Valve's contributions as viewed by the Linux ecosystem and maintainers.
