> 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.

I suppose I read into the Steam Deck not supporting all of the requirements right now a bit much. Thats the section I was referencing. I am still hopeful they'll at least object to IOMMU and get some movement from Epic there...

Yeah, the arch omission is a bit telling.
