Si le Steam Deck est un franc succès, la console portable doit véritablement son attrait à SteamOS, le système d'exploitation développé sous Linux. Nous
Valve is such a rare breed of company. I hope Gabe hands it off to someone who believes equally in the same things he does.
I'm so glad Valve never went public.
There's some very talented and compassionate developers that have been with Valve for a long time that I assume will get past the reigns when he decides to step down or dies, and I'm hopeful that they will be as awesome as Gabe.
I constantly see people talking about how Valve will go to shit when Gabe dies, but I simply don't think that's true. Gabe is not the only amazing human at that company.

Don’t worry. I’m sure whomever he hands it over to will also support running CS:GO as an illegal underage casino.
Haven't read the article just yet but it's so insane how far this has come and all the pieces that came together over so many years. Very excited about the future of SteamOS
I cant wait for the day I can switch from Windows to Steam OS without losing compatibility with all my software. I hate how MS has handled Windows
There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities the other day talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you're holding out until it's perfect then you'll be waiting forever!
Cool, his name name translated from French to English is Peter-Wolf. His parents must have been big fans of Prokofiev.
"griffais" is also a past form of the verb "griffer" which means "to claw"
Also, “Pierre” also means “rock” in french, so his name could be translated to “Stone Wolf Clawed”
Even better translation: Stone-Wolf !
