I recommend taking a look at the reddit link I posted above (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/b30m3g/googles_stadia_uses_linux_and_is_based_on_vulkan/eiwcd6l https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/b30m3g/googles_stadi...). There has been a great deal of conversation already on /r/linux regarding the points you've mentioned. By the way, you talk as if Linux compatibility is already a given, but there is still a good deal of work to be done in order to reach parity with a similar Microsoft operating environment. Having the support of Google working directly on this will massively increase the pace of open source development. The foundation has been laid, and now we just need the resources to push it through. There is nothing wrong with having companies contribute to development. Much of open source in fact is built on paid full-time employees working. It's unrealistic, in my opinion, to except everything to be done on a volunteer part-time hobby basis.
