- Comment on Valve confirms it'll support the ROG Ally with its Steam Deck operating system 4 months ago:
Okay, understood. May be SteamOS was the incorrect wording. I meant the Linux Kernel, Arch, Proton. I am assuming most changes are related to hardware and software compatibility which should all be open source.

Yes, thats how Open Source works or they can keep paying Windows. Asus knows their hardware much better than Valve does and has a much bigger interest in a good user experience, but currently lacks the incentive, because Windows is a „good“ paid alternative. Honestly I don’t understand all the downvotes.

Valve shouldn’t give their blessing to SteamOS on the Ally. That should be Asus‘ job. However they could give Asus a cut on every game sold through their device on SteamOS (like a few percent). That would make it much more financially interesting for Asus and they might put an official team behind it, to support SteamOS.
- Comment on What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck? 7 months ago:
Definitely Widelands! It captures the heart of settlers 2 while also extending it in ways that were really needed to make it even more enjoyable. Also with the right controller layout it plays very ergonomically. (Use a trigger to switch to map scrolling via the touchpads)

Free software is not about free of charge, but about freedom. If you publish open source software under a license which allows commercial use or selling the software, you have given consent. If you don‘t like that, change the license. (Users will still be able to use the software for free if they choose to compile it themself, because the source code is available.
Redhat does exactly what you are describing: Packageing open source software into a paid Linux distribution and I would say they had an immense net positive effect on Linux doing this. I believe that this the point. Don‘t be an asshole. If you partly profit of someone else open source software, give them money, bug reports, bug fixes, recognition, etc. Be part of the community.
