Id rather have static binaries than a flatpak/snap for "universal distribution", personally.
Either static or dynamic is fine, package management has to be solved at another layer a la Nix.

Exactly. I played life is strange 2 recently. It has a native Linux Version. On startup it complained I should set my CPU governor to performance instead of governor. Then it said it only supports AMD and Nvidia cards. I pressed continue and the system hard-locked. This machine is about a year old today, and this is the only crash I had, ever. After that I configured steam to use the windows version instead, and I co…
Hence "OS/2 runs Windows better", all over again. We all know how that ended.

Why do you care? You really need to get over the "Linus said something bad about my mother 20 years ago" or whatever your issue is. It's just weird at this point.
You are the ones that need to get over the fact that these are Windows games, not Linux.

I keep it docked (mostly) and it works great. My ONLY beef is that the AMD drivers do not work 100% with Blender so you don't get the accelerated Cycles rendering. Otherwise, it is great.
That's interesting. I'm no expert on the Steam Deck, but I would have expected it to work. Do you have any more details about the problem?

No universal but I'm very much anti valve as they are among the few who continue to do business in Russia.
If Russia is where you draw the line boy do I have news for you! If your standards were universal, you wouldn't be doing business with any company at all.
i'm a big fan of companies paying and/or hiring OSS devs to continue working on OSS code. (100% biased :D)
Is Valve the only company in the world that is not universally hated by the HN and reddit crowd?

Linus at DebConf 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=310&v=Pzl1B7nB9Kc&feature=yo... >I’m on a record saying, that maybe Valve will actually save the Linux desktop. And it’s actually not because I think games are important! I don't care, I don't play games. I think some people do, so games maybe important. But the really important issue is I guarantee you Valve will not make 15 different binaries. And I also guarant…

Arch is pretty good at making the native packages work, so that's always ideal. The community is generally pretty good at competently packaging AURs, and they'll do it for slightly less free things, so that fills a lot of gaps. AppImages and Flatpaks are great when they work, but opaque and difficult to diagnose when they don't :/ And snap is just... unpleasant. It's insistence to auto update separately from my package manager has really turned me off of it's whole ecosystem. No thanks.
Thanks to Valve Linux is single OS on my home computer. Most of the games from my medium sized Steam library are working, and few that does not work today, will probably be fixed in the future. Need to mention that I do not play new AAA titles or multiplayer games, but I enjoy older games, and some of those are broken on modern versions of Windows.
