It's absolutely this. They have the ability to put these into their build pipelines and include them. Or just grab the latest 32bit versions and just use those.

It's work for them surely. But it's not the end of the world.

I think we have all solved much harder problems as software engineers.

Also their days are counted as SteamOS is now going to other handheld devices apart from the Steam Deck so... Not sure their project will still exist one year down the road.

I use Bazzite on my Steam Deck for better Btrfs, Decky Loader and Waydroid support. Support for these things on SteamOS via community projects are fragile (Decky Loader breaks often with Steam updates, steamos-btrfs runs a payload that may or may not work after updates, the widely used Waydroid installer comes with prebuilt kernel modules which I am not okay with). Bazzite has purposes other than installing SteamOS on unsupported devices.

"slight effort" seems disingenuous, given this quote from the source thread:

> If this shipped today, to accomplish this we’d need to:

> 1: Build all of the packages Steam needs in a copr or similar

> 2: Build a custom version of Proton with experimental Wow64 features turned on

> 3: Instruct all users to manually change their steam settings to use that proton version because the ones Valve provides don’t have that.

> 4: Tell anyone using OBS game capture that they’re just gonna have to give up.

Why would OBS not work?

or they can't?

Bazzite seems to be just a big Dockerfile built on top of bootc and bootc image builder right?
