> The real reason Valve are being the "good guys" at the moment
Yep. Valve is seen as virtuous because Microsoft is greedy and the default Windows 11 install is generally viewed as a tire-fire of an OS
Are they doing good things for Linux? Absolutely. As a long-time Linux user I am over the moon that we are where we are. But the general populaton only gives a shit because Microsoft is abusive.

I hear that for every major Windows release. And after 6 months everybody is fine with it.
It seems different this time. Windows is worse and Linux is better than at previous defenestration opportunities.
