It's really hard to find a difference between a flaming bag of dog crap and a giant heap of cow dung. But if you look deep enough, one might have a preference.
Valve's goal with it is to "have a standardized interface so that SteamOS specific features in the Steam client, e.g. TDP management, can be exposed in any linux distro that provides an implementation of this DBus API"
Some companies are trying to move core features under their closed source umbrella and Valve is exposing their features so that other Linux distros can make use of it.
You’re not going to get an option to take the subway from your farm to the local Walmart.
Yes, i completely understand this scenario and I would certainly not say to build a subway all the way to my farm.
The problem is the last half century of building out cities and population growth only considering cars.
This is the exact issue that I want society to understand.
Transportation should have a hierarchy.
Commonly used routes: Subway
Busy/dense population route with medium distance: Bus
Short distance to common transport pickup point or places of attraction: cycle/small vehicle, preferably electric/mechanical
Special vehicles for senior citizens/differently-abled: Haven't thought about this much but there should be something
There should be parking areas near the city periphery/big transportation hub so that people coming from the suburbs can park their car and use the public transport. This reduces pollution and heat in the center of the city.
If you show you used public transport, parking should be subsidized or free.
I want freedom of movement, i.e., I should be able to choose which form of travel I want to use to reach the destination.
Each mode should have their pros and cons. But i don't want society/environment/polices to favor a particular form of travel.
Don't forget educational institutes. Linux should be the defacto OS at such places. The younger generation's first interaction with a PC is at school. If they are used to Linux from a young age, this is greatly help them ease into the Linux mindset (package manager, terminal).
