Valve's Lepton (Waydroid fork) might solve this when it gets released.

Was evaluating this recently, the lack of NAT busting was a dealbreaker.

You can make outbound connections to peers to avoid NAT.

yggdrasil-jumper aims to help with this

They know their software and update story sucks, so partnering with a company which promises to handle all that and they have an existing audience means they'll sell a lot more of that model.

Do you do that for Android?

It's likely just a codename for now.

Just think about how few Android devices have an open bootloader right now, there's no reason to think it'd be any different on larger hardware.

On the flip side, every Chromebook and Chromebox has a unlockable and open-spurce coreboot bootloader.

I love their mechanism where one opens the device and removes a screw to unlock it. Very novel and honestly kind of fun.

A big part of it is chipmakers deprecating S3 sleep in favour of Modern Standby.

More like FOSS religion, because those get the capabilities via NDAs or binary drivers.

Surely it's IP religion that keeps this information locked away.

IP religion supports the housing and family, FOSS one unfortunately mostly not, hence the usual licensing changes news every other week.

> Unfortunately it seems supporting Linux natively is pretty quickly moving target

With the container-based approach of the Steam Linux Runtime this should no longer be a problem. Games can just target a particular version and Steam will be able to run it forevermore.

And this is due to Valve's big investments in Proton, Steam Deck and the new Steam hardware to get game compatibility working from both the Linux/Wine side as well as making game developers aim for compatibility.

One part of it. The other (and arguably bigger in some way) part are drivers (Nvidia, amd, Intel) that improved a great deal over the years.

Kind of helps that most AI work happens on Linux too. ;)

They've been supporting KDE as well for years now.

The anti-cheat creators other than Valve aren't bothered to invest into making a Linux kernel anti-cheat, and most Linux users would be unwilling to allow one to be installed either.
