Comment on Steam Frame gets kernel-level CD-ROM support a day after a community member asked for it

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 already exists, and they still refuse to add support. There’s a ticket about it on the SteamOS github page if you don’t believe me. Link.

  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?
