Can't say anything bad about this. They made a good product that people want, it doesn't have a walled garden, and it's supporting the Linux community at the same time.

I hope they continue to keep hold of the values that gave them this success.

Came here to say this. They earned their success. Hopefully their current values remain.

I really like Valve. They have done a few things that really annoyed me (usually owing to their refusal to sell stuff outside of the US)… But you can’t argue with their excellent support of the community and loyalty to their customer base.

I'm seriously considering giving up my gaming desktop in a year or two and switch to a Steam Deck instead of building a new battlestation. I'll likely keep my desk and get a docking station for it.

The fact that it's open and let me run games outside of Steam (I have many games bought on GOG) is a major selling point. Plus almost all of the apps I rely on are available in Flatpak format, which should work great when I'm not gaming.

I can see that. In a way, it's like a reimagining of an ultra-portable gaming netbook.
