I have been debating writing this up for a while, but here I am. I have completely ditched SteamOS in favour of Ubuntu Mate.

SteamOS beta 2.88 is now out, nothing major as usual but it does feature a newer AMD driver and a fix for an updater crash.

The latest Steam Hardware Survey is out and for the first time in a while the Linux figure seems to have grown.

A new promotional video from Alienware showing off their Steam Machine has surfaced recently and it's a pretty nice video.

Today SteamOS has a new beta, which brings a much newer Nvidia driver to the table and a fresher build of the new AMD PRO driver.

I sincerely hope none of you pre-ordered Street Fighter V on the promise of the Linux version, as it has shown yet again how silly it is. Street Fighter V is now officially late.

According to PCWorld who spoke with Chris Sutphen, the senior marketing manager at Alienware, Dell are pushing out two new Steam Machine models.

Valve have a lot of work to do to bring SteamOS up to full speed and actually show that they regard it as an important platform. And it has to be not just important to them, but be truly useful to us.

Ars Technica has written up an article about Valve's Steam Machines and how they seem to have sold less than 500,000 units in around seven months.

Something I keep seeing repeated in our comments, forum and across other sites is people believing Valve have somehow failed already and are abandoning SteamOS. That's far from the truth of the matter.

Probably one of the more interesting releases of SteamOS recently. SteamOS 2.80 is now in beta which brings with it some fun changes for AMD GPU users.

Oh boy, not long after the release of Tomb Raider and Feral Interactive have started teasing a new port again.

I hadn't heard of Corpse Party myself until a few days ago, but it seems this popular series is getting a Linux entry. Corpse Party is currently being ported to Linux!

Pretty awesome news, Lionsgate and Steam are teaming up to offer over 100 of their titles like Hunger Games, Twilight and more.

I must admit I like the look of The Culling! While I like the idea of survival games, they often don't click for me, but a battle royale game I could definitely get into.

Just a heads up here, SteamOS brewmaster 2.70 is now considered stable and is ready to be updated on your machines.

Another month, and another Steam Hardware Survey. Linux is currently sitting at 0.85%, so there's a small drop.

Oh yes! Darkest Dungeon is now an instant buy for many I'm sure as it has arrived on Linux in Beta form. Lots of people have been waiting for this gothic roguelike turn-based RPG.

You may or may not remember that I recently broke the news that Two Worlds II was finally coming to Linux & SteamOS along with major engine upgrades. The better news is that it's going to be on GOG for Linux, and have less annoying restrictions.

Something I have been speaking about with Topware since 2013 is finally going to happen! Two Worlds II is getting a major engine upgrade, with new DLC and SteamOS & Linux support too.
