With the Steam Frame and Steam Machine launching with SteamOS Linux this year, we're going to again see a nice boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall.

With the Steam Frame and Steam Machine launching with SteamOS Linux this year, we’re going to again see a nice boost for Flatpaks and desktop Linux overall.

Linux has, historically, been quite messy when it comes to software distribution. We have various distribution-specific packaging formats like .deb (Debian / Ubuntu), .rpm (Fedora) and the list just goes on and on. Canonical also went their own way with Ubuntu for the likes of Snap, but the real winner is going to end up being Flatpak and the main Flathub store.

    I just hope it sets a good example for other OEMs.

    “What do you mean people don’t want 50+ liters of unused space?? They want Linux on their gaming computer?”

    And I’m guessing the price will be high enough that other OEMs will be able to compete with it with higher specs (RDNA 4) and similar prices (within a few hundred dollars)
