View submission: Do not install currently available versions of SteamOS
Starting to think Valve gave up on making this not exclusive to Steam Deck tbh.

A lot of how the pay/promotion structure at Valve operates heavily influences stuff like this. At the company you get ranked on the positive influence you've made, ie positive press/how your change has influenced better earnings. The fact of the matter is that providing a non steam deck image is not going to heaving increase revenue and so fewer people are going to be willing to work on the project. Over time the more buzz there is by the customer base the more likely they are to do it because it will earn the employees championing it more "points." We will get it sooner now due to the negative feelings around windows and steam os being heralded as the new best OS for gaming.
Happy Cake Day
