The thing about the Steam runtime is it’s literally just a different way of packaging it as far as the dev cares, and overhead for containers is much smaller than a full VM, so performance impact is minimal. Containers were originally created to make cloud deployments easier to automate because all the most important dependencies are packaged and there’s a stable interface to the OS regardless of host, and it replaced heavier virtual machines for most autoscaling web apps. Doesn’t need full virtualization and or guest kernel, etc. Easy to suspend for hibernation too, which is great for portable gaming too.

Literally the Steam runtime is a Linux container environment with standard dependencies available for packaged applications and games

Anything supporting the container format it uses can run it

Containers is a method of presenting a system environment which looks the same across any computer you run it on, even if the underlying systems are wildly different, it’s like a sandbox but designed for efficiency (less resource overhead)

Linux software repositories

We literally already have it

The difference is nobody is focusing on multi distro stuff yet. But using the Steam Linux runtime (open source) could be a good start. Standard containers which you can run on any distro.

Maybe in your country

Over here you need to establish residency first

Still not without paperwork. You’ll need lawyers too. Going that route can get expensive

We rescued second hand paper from the incinerator, sir, like true environmentalists

Ask the lottery for signed papers declaring how you got the money from them, then file the paperwork for declaring it. You’re probably going to get interviewed for hours, but at the end they’ll just tax it and you’re done.

(make sure you have copies of the papers both for customs and for the bank if you intend to deposit)

So that’s just infrastructure and install cost. That means even the dumbest bean counters out there can’t call solar a bad investment, not even the shortest term thinking quarterly reports obsessed morons.
