Did you not read the OP? I was repeating what they said.
I know they say they're working on it. That's the problem. What's the hold up? Why is the team of volunteers able to make it happen and the corporation with "infinite" funds isn't able to make it more on more than a couple of devices after a decade of development? Why isn't that strange to you?
You're actually completely lost.
They have been working on support for their own first party devices before anything else, now they are moving to supporting more hardware. It's Valve, they don't function like other companies, they won't have hundreds of people working on SteamOS for the masses. They want it to work on their own devices flawlessly before anything else, how is that so hard to understand?
It's not "strange" at all. You're going to go in circles, so I'll leave this discussion here. Good luck out there.
How many hundred people do you think are working at Bazzite and Cachy and Chimera and Nobara, who are all able to make this happen?
I am. I dont understand WHY they wouldn't want to have SteamOS on more devices sooner. That's strange to me. I truly don't understand why that's so confusing to you.
