From your mouth to Tim Cook's ear, friend.

That said, when are we going to get a public release for SteamOS? …There’s a joke somewhere about them reaching SteamOS 3

This sure reads like it's private

Now I see...

Down down down you find

> (April 1, 2024): After over 2 3 years (and 2 Steam Deck model releases - LCD and OLED) Valve still hasn't publicized their private GitLab repositories nor fully complied with the GPL. I decided to (finally) release the relevant portion of my automated "bot" project, aptly titled srcpkg2git. This/These software/tools haven't been updated/modified much since 2022, but should allow users to easily access and even mirror Valve's SteamOS private repositories (as I've demonstrated with these public mirrors (@gitlab.com/evlaV) the past over 2 3 years).

Yes indeed. That's hardly public what we can get...
