So it seems Ubuntu moving away from 32bit is going to mean no more (ubuntu) recommendations from Steam and Valve.
Would be nice to know more about their long term plans.
Personaly I would love to see them start paying some Solus developers... and put some of their own people on it.
SteamOS is fine but they are still reliant on Debian. IMO Solus is rip for a friendly Valve invasion. Its fast, its stable... it already works extremely well with Steam. Its just old enough and well known enough to save Vavle a ton of work... and its just small enough and indepent enough that for the investment of paying 2 or 3 of the top Solus developers and shifting their Ubuntu work their way... Valve could end up with a worth SteamOS replacement that can also function as a complete desktop solution.
Anyway interesting go ons. I doubt they abandon Linux (and as Pierre says they are looking at moving to a new official distro)... no matter what something interesting will come of this news.
