Rosenzweig, known for her Panfrost and Apple M1/M2 GPU driver work is now contracted by Valve to work on graphics driver development! Sounds like great news for Valve's push for Linux gaming.

I was so skeptical of staying on steamos instead of replacing it instantly with windows for the deck, but compatability has been great and relatively easy to get working for even games that aren't verified.

Big difference from when they tried the steam machines and game compatibility with Linux back then.

They learned from their mistakes and didn't try to ship something crap. Also reviews helped, in part due to the fact that Windows didn't have drivers for a while after launch.
