I love my shield, it’s been a staple.

If they wanted to really knock it out the park, the next step would be a steamos port with DRM support.

DRM is anti-consumer malware, so I hope not.

There are other ways to source videos than paying a monthly fee forever for something that you will never own.

Yeah, but when your daughter wants to watch Moana 2, that tends to stop being an issue.

Please talk to your congresspeople about getting DRM abolished, in the meantime, please don't try to deny my freedom to consume legally obtained content that is only available with DRM.

Unless Valve are going to do some work to enable that and support a hardware backed chain of trust for drivers that's not going to happen.

(I think it should happen but that's not the same as that it will.)

That would be great, honestly. Imagine just being able to install Android apps like Netflix, Disney+, ... On your Steam Deck or Steam Machine and having it work out of the box with Widevine L1. Then you'd truly just only need one device attached to your TV for all your entertainment needs. And then a great and supported one at that.

The drivers are already done, they're in the Android build.

I just want a more open OS.

I don't mind if it requires running a vendor signed boot, kernel and driver chain, I'd be using those same vendor chains anyway for non upstreamed hardware most likely.

It could be really interesting if they used a fraction of the tech they have or recently stopped using that could still fit here well.
