Also mentioned fixing bugs with desktop mode being blank when switching to it, and external displays remaining blank after resuming, which were both issues I've encountered.

Finally, it mentioned adding support of ROG Ally keys, whatever that means. According to gamingonlinux, this is probably just improvements to steam input that were merged into SteamOS. We can hope though that it's instead a sign of incoming support for additional devices, just don't get your hopes up too high.

The point was simply that Debian is not responsible for Ubuntu or PopOS, but they can still interact cooperatively. Downstream benefits from the work Upstream does and downstream can contribute upstream so everyone benefits.
