It’s nice to see some love shared towards Valve who have been incredible with sharing countless improvements upstream. KDE has benefited from Steam Deck development with improvements such as Discover, faster detection of new icons after app installs, and better udev event handling.

If only other vendors making their own distros had a policy of pushing upstream rather than forking. And with Valve introducing millions of users to Plasma and putting a Linux Desktop in their hands, it is truly fantastic times for Linux right now (HDR support, DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, Proton itself, futex, case insensitive filesystem ext4, spinlock, btrfs same-fsid, kdumpst, Mesa Vulkan driver, ACO, async page flip, gamescope, xdg-desktop-portal improvements, Udisks improvements, Network Manager, ALSA, Pipewire, SDL improvements).

All available to all distros thanks to Valve. It’s been over 10 years since they committed to Linux and they have truly put their money where their mouth was.
