I'm relieved it was, too. Switched to Fedora like a year ago because I was fed of Ubuntu snap-nonsense, and I've been nothing but amazed with how well Fedora works.

While I agree with you on the poor timing and the overall bad idea, I hopefully can't really imagine that proposal would do any kind of reputation damage to Fedora though. It was the initiative of 3 people, and again, just a proposal.

I think that many people, because there is a hate campaign against Red Hat and IBM, will start to say tons of apocalyptic sentences. This is not the first time that a proposal is rejected and it will not be the last.

People forget when Ubuntu proposed the same thing some years ago.

In my case, as an orthodox Silverblue user, I supported the proposition, but most of people in Fedora use a monstrosity called Workstation.

Has this arrived to the GOG version?

Flatpak Steam has a whole bunch of its own issues and is not supported by Valve, it's not a direct replacement. 
The RPM package is not supported either.
Valve made some non-official contributions to the Flatpak package and nothing for any other than the official Deb for Ubuntu and Steam client implemented in SteamOS.

As an orthodox Silverblue user, I support this.

The installer is in '.bin' format. NVIDIA against Linux standards again.

If this app requires to disable the immutability, it's just an atrocity.

I bought a GuliKit KK3 Pro in March and I'm very happy with it, although the firmware needs to be updated both controller and the dedicated dongle. However, the only thing you need to update the firmware is a file manager, so you can do the process from Linux without problems.

Yes, fwupd would be better, but the GuliKit method is IMO better than using Windows.

I'm not a Valve employee or someone sponsored by Steam, I'm just a customer, and as customer, I PAY to have a good app and a good service. Valve is giving me a bad app and a service that is rotting, so today I don't have reasons to have Steam as my main platform. By other hand, I reported some of the bugs that affect the Flatpak version, but after months or even years, the problems are still there. I know that the Flatpak version is not official, but some problems with the Big Picture interface and others that I will mention later also affect the official Deb package provided by Valve.

Steam was the best way to play from Linux two years ago, but today GOG gives me a better experience through Heroic Games Launcher and RetroArch is a much better app than Steam. Besides the bugs, Steam has a terrible performance because it's a 32-bit app and it's compatibility with XWayland is terrible, while RetroArch runs natively on Wayland and Heroic Games Launcher has a good performance through XWayland. RetroArch and Heroic Games Launcher are 64-bit apps.

If Valve wants to retain me as customer, it has to do the things better. Today we have alternatives with Heroic Games Launcher and Wine-GE, and if the Heroic Games Launcher community and Glorious Eggroll do the things better, I will support them instead of Valve.

If we want to have a good support for Linux Gaming, the submission to a monopolistic corporation like Valve is not the way. Today Valve doesn't care about Linux desktop, it only cares about SteamOS. Yes, I'm accusing Valve of trying to split Linux Gaming in two parts, one of them composed with first class citizens (SteamOS users) and the other composed by second class citizen (the rest of Linux distributions).
