You gotta think about this from Valve's perspective, right? They're trying to shake up the whole gaming industry with their new Steam Machine thingy... but what's the real motivation here? Is it really about bringing PC gaming to the masses or is it just about keeping those big game devs happy?
I mean, we know there's a huge cheating problem on Linux, and Valve has been trying to tackle it. But let's be real, this is all about control, man... they want to make sure their games are secure and that cheaters get shut down. It's like, you can't have too many wolves in the henhouse, right?
And then there's the Steam Deck, which has already shown that people are willing to pay top dollar for a portable gaming experience on Linux. But what about the ones who just want to play their favorite games without all the hassle? That's where Valve comes in... or maybe they're not interested in catering to the little guy.
I think this whole thing is about Valve trying to own the PC gaming market, period. They can't have everyone playing Fortnite and PUBG on SteamOS and Linux if it means cheaters are gonna ruin the game. It's a tough nut to crack, but I'm all for innovation... as long as it benefits the gamers in the end

I think Valve needs to step up their game when it comes to addressing cheating on Linux 
. The fact that devs are holding back from bringing their games to SteamOS is a major bummer for gamers who wanna play on this platform. A sandbox environment with robust tools and clearer guidelines would be 
awesome, though! It's like, Valve has shown promise with Proton compatibility and all that, but it's just not enough 
. If they can get this right, the Steam Machine could be a total game-changer 
... I mean, no pun intended 
.
. It's like, you know, PC gaming isn't even accessible to some people because of it.
, but it's still not perfect. You can't play all your favorite games without worrying about cheaters ruining the experience. And I get why developers are hesitant to put their games on SteamOS - who wants to deal with that headache?
. They've got some good anti-cheat solutions in place, and if they can just keep up with those cheaters, I think we'll see a whole new world of PC gaming 
. Maybe it's time for them to create some kind of 'game police' or something 
.
. If they can figure that out, I think we'll be seeing a whole lot more gamers jumping into PC gaming
