As far as I am aware, Valve has done almost nothing for Linux, as I haven't heard of a patch to the kernel, Linux directly from value - only a few indirect ones.
Valve has paid programmers to make improvements to WINE+DVXK+esync/fsync (of which, only esync/fsync is really Linux-specific) to write a custom window manager and also did a pretty half-baked port (that still uses 32-bit libraries last time I checked) of their malware cleverly disguised as a game downloader and games.
>organizations who take a lot of money in donations like fsf.
The FSF doesn't take a lot of money in donations - it's amazing how much they've done with such little donations.
The FSF does not recommend the kernel, Linux, as that is proprietary software - they support a free version called GNU Linux-libre.
GNU hackers have done incredible things for Linux despite the tendency for those who see themselves as "Linux users" to pretend that GNU doesn't exist, or that GNU is only a coreutils and refer to GNU as "Linux".
Despite the amount of money Valve has, they haven't really hired that many programmers.
