    They made an entire Linux-powered portable game system that’s revolutionizing Linux gaming at the moment…an embedded engineer is not the same skillset as an app developer. Not even close.

      They made a device with a proprietary operating system and proprietary software. If you really want that, why not just use Android?

          Steam OS is proprietary.

          But Arch contains proprietary firmware, so technically it’s not fully free software either.

            SteamOS is open source with some closed sources component. But most important think you seems not being able to understand is that Valve provide high support to Open source community, which means it wouldn’t be surprising if they decided to drop a open source phone.
