And luckily, according to the article, Valve has no immediate intention of getting the Steam Deck to meet those requirements.

I'm not sure how you get that from the article (maybe it was pointed to a different article earlier?).

I don't have a Steam Deck, but as I understand it, it does not support Secure Boot out-of-the-box. Also, SteamOS is Arch-based, and it doesn't look like Arch is listed among the "well-known" signing keys that EACv2 lists as trusted.

But not supporting the EACv2's requirements today, doesn't mean that Valve is inherently opposed to doing so. If you have a statement from Valve claiming that, please share it.

The thing is, Android, iDevices don't do kernel drivers for apps.

Additionally macOS is transitioning to have only userspace drivers.

I suspect that eventually Microsoft will be pressured to do the same with the ongoing cyber security liability laws, and disasters like in 2024.

So will they only do consoles when it comes to it?
