    Could use a few to develop a new linux distribution for entirely new markets and use cases, design and manufacture innovative cutting edge consumer hardware, and count to three.

      I’m surprised they didn’t really try to make Steam OS a real distro for regular PCs, but at the same time there’s no real money to be made…

        They tried that first, it didn’t go so well.

          Yeah, that’s why I said they didn’t really tried, the distro isn’t even distributed anymore

        Honestly it would probably be worth it as a flagship project to keep their staff engineers excited about something.

        I know they earn piles and piles of money, but some people just quit when they’ve got enough cash, so you need an other sort of carrot.
