Cool that they can make changes that fast. 👍
I mean, it’s the linux kernel.
They started out by disabling all the stuff they don’t need. and enabling some modules back in again is literally just a line of config

Absolutely no problem in theory. But when it’s a major company, such minor issues often have to be decided by a board. Reports need to be written, and there are procedures that more often than not can take months, just to be sure hasty decisions aren’t made, and that no single person can be held responsible if something goes wrong.
Everybody needs to have their back clear.
Meanwhile, the xbox controller usb dongle still hasn’t received support.
I’m sure if you get that in as a stable mainline kernel module, they’ll turn it on.
As someone who tried to get the out of tree drivers to work reliably for years, good luck.
That’s simply false.
Lol, which part? The part where I said they would turn it on if it was in the mainline kernel?
ideally, this package should gain mainline support in Arch before being evaluated for downstream inclusion in SteamOS 3.0.

Or the part where I said if it was stable? Or where I explicitly acknowledged the out of tree driver that’s a PITA?
The main detail here to answer is if the package has widespread testing and support over a long term, there’s a higher chance that a mainline package will present minimal to no additional overhead to maintain by SteamOS devs compared to an AUR package.

I guess thanks for doing the leg work on proving me right?
That’s really cool but I’m trying to imagine a practical use for this lol
OOP wanted to watch some movies on the go which they had on disc. And install an old game.
Though another blocker was that the Frame’s USB port didn’t deliver (enough?) power for the drive. So even with the general support it doesn’t solve their specific problem.
Just need a dock/hub you can plug power into.
