Manjaro is an interesting choice, it's Arch-based like SteamOS and it is managed by a company which make it easier, from a company point of view, to work with than with the loose structures that manage most FOSS project (Valve is very good at working with them and its one of its strength. I find the means Valve use to intereract with the FOSS world fascinating).

Does GoG preservation program will have an impact on Linux gaming ? As far as I understand, game preservation for Linux is mostly maintaining Proton as native games tends to not preserve well due to the rapid evolution of dependencies on Linux.

Not infringing on other people's intellectual property ?

Nevermind.

Joke aside, I do actually agree that AI is just a digital tool albeit not very reliable nor efficient in its last iteration. It has its use.

I think one very important point is the availability at retail store. While I understand why it is not the case, it is really hindering the Steam Deck growth.
