Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
The recent news that SteamOS may soon be shipped with third-party devices could be particularly important for Linux gaming on desktops.
Even gamers nexus' Steve today said that they're about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It's happening, y'all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn't precisely say they're starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

I'm confused, do you think Canonical, RedHat or SUSE are going away in the near future? Or that they don't have support?
Or that they don't have support?
Not specifically the whole Linux/Proton/Game stack. That's Valve's bread and butter, not Canonical or Redhat.
Go ahead, call Redhat and tell them you can't get Skyrim to run, see how far that gets you.
Are you trying to imply having an "official SteamOS" means you will be able to call Valve to have them troubleshoot your game? Because you can't do that with the current official SteamOS on the Steam Deck. I don't think you thought this through.

I wouldn't buy a $500 device where the manufacturer guarantees certain games to work but then doesn't help me get them working if I need them.
Welp, good thing I didn't have dinner because I have to eat my words now.
