> I want to get background of gabe throwing money to flatpak, no any mention in this article

This comment needs to be upvoted - the author supports their argument using as evidence a fact I cannot find anywhere on the net.

It's in their title, it's in their conclusion, but it seems to be hallucinated.

Well, it sounds pretty funny. What can be said factually is that the Steam Deck is based on an immutable distro like Bazzite, which is a lot more important than flatpaks themselves. Flats are just a popular way to get apps on such a setup. I see a lot of resistance to them in general, not just in specific individuals or communities on the web, and they're actually pretty solid and do see lots of investment from other companies. SteamOS itself being an immutable distro, Gabe is indeed at least indirectly shitting his yacht money into them.
