I can see Microsoft moving to the same sort of thinking as well. Apple already made Mac OS users jump through hoops when you want to install something from the internet or even through a third party package manager like homebrew.

    Microsoft has been trying this for years already. That eventually led to Valve incresing their efforts in the Linux gaming front and releasing the Steam Deck.

    I wonder if Valve would ever get into the Linux Phone market.

    But for the platform itself to be open, I wonder how much would have to be recreated.

    Does anybody actually enjoy gaming on the phone or just do it because there nothing better to do?

    I would perhaps buy a valve phone but I wouldn't want to game on it which sounds weird.

    Unless it was like a switch and had detachable joycons.

    Oh same here. I'm hopeful that valve brings us a linux phone, not a gaming phone. I've never really gotten into gaming on mobile either.

    However, if they DO make a linux phone, I'm sure it will be Steam branded and have all kinds of gaming-specific tweaks.

    But again, to me that just sounds like it will have good hardware specs. So not a problem!
