Valve does still provide official support for Steam , even if you run it on a different set of HW or distribution. Not providing official support for random hardware seems reasonable. Neither do Microsoft nor Apple.

Microsoft's cash cows are increasingly Office 365 and of course Azure. Everything that can serve as an Office 365 client OS is surely fine. A shrinking Windows operation may just save them money in the long run.

Anecdotally, the number of people I know who bought a Steam Deck and ended up using it as a docked desktop replacement is now in the upper single digits. All of them are in IT or IT-adjacent, but were not desktop Linux users before, either

DCI-P3 is about 45% of CIE, so maybe that? The product brief says 16.2M color depth, though, which would mean it's 6-bit + FRC which is bizarre to couple with an aim for DCI-P3, so perhaps not. Quite an odd product! I assume these are

I think it was more about being able to understand/read what the measurement devices were showing. The exact distance probably wasn't as important as the criticality could also vary with other variables (e.g. geometry). As in, you
