      And they want to hedge against Windows trying to monopolise the gaming market. You know, the kind of thing government oversight used to prevent in days gone by.

          Honestly it’s not that Gabe or Valve is a FOSS champion, it’s just that FOSS is the only viable alternative to a potential Windows walled garden, so it’s what they used.

          If SteamOS plays a significant role in killing Windows, the credit will still belong to the FOSS movement. They are the ones that laid the ground for SteamOS to stand on, and they are the ones who ensured it couldn’t be fenced in once more.
