This was already covered in a video by Dave2d (Lemmy discussion here), but it’s great to see more widespread coverage of how great performance is for SteamOS vs windows.

If even Microsoft was/is considering giving custom kernel modules the boot and potentially not allowing them in the future (due to similar but unrelated issues) why should the Linux community embrace proprietary kernel modules from companies who’s goal is antithetical to the user, and which are probably horribly insecure and/or rootkits themselves.
Which is why I prefer the MacOS approach better - instead of relying on the developer adding a hypervisor, Apple uses binary signatures for all the relevant system files which are attested via something similar to Secure Boot, plus an Apple-provided API for runtime attestation, to ensure that the system has not been touched since boot. I suspect that Valve’s assistance in making Arch Linux builds reproducible is pointing towards that goal.
