Quoting: HamishMight I suggest chaps we do not turn this into a Phoronix styled anti/pro Lennart Poettering fur-fight?

Just a suggestion...
I did not find any message you might be referring to.

Quoting: sub"I don't know what my sound system is, but it never worked as expected."
Yes, it's probably PulseAudio, but who knows...
In this case, I'd expect that people do care and at least try to fix it.
Even if it's to no further avail, afterwards they should know which sound system does not work for them. ;)

Quoting: XylemonSomething that would interest me (but maybe not others) is what sound system Linux users have. It would be interesting to see how many use ALSA solely, or in combination with JACK or PulseAudio, or they use OSS4 and forget ALSA altogether.
If you're adding such an extra question, you'd probably need "I don't know what my sound system is, it just worked out-of-the-box" kind of answer.

By the way, the result for 32 vs. 64 bit is very interesting. For example, the demo of Making History: Great War was not able to run on 64 bit at all and it seemed the developers were totally unaware of that possibility. If I would have had this result, I would have pointed them here.

I consider 2% a very low jitter considering the lot of new participants, and you surely don't need (or should) report all declines or raises of such a low percentage. You could try to promote this on the Steam forum for Linux. Perhaps not for the one for SteamOS, not sure.

Quoting: linuxgamerI have picked CS:GO. Unfortunately I missed that >75% sale last spring but at least i got some cents off compared to gift trade and made a "pure Linux purchase" (wonder if that is counted in any way).

Is that sale supposedto be a teaser, or is winter coming early to Valve?
Thanksgiving sale should not hinder them to do a decent winter/christmas sale nevertheless. :)

I picked "The Fall". Didn't feel sure enough for full price.
