btw, mac and linux are sharing the port data depot, so its probably a eON port, but why did you mentioned mac, since there is not a mac version available on steam?

Portal Stories: Mel, A Free Standalone Portal 2 Mod Released On Steam
29 June 2015 at 10:33 pm UTC

Looks good

Quoting: KeyrockGreat mod. I'm about halfway-ish through it, I think, and I'm really enjoying it. I am very happy that it is indeed more difficult than Portal 2, as my biggest complaint about Portal 2 was that it was too easy. Can't beat the price either.
lol I actually had to be checking out a gameplay video to finish it, I know I would have to do the same with this mod too.

SMACH Zero, A SteamOS Handheld Official Specifications Revealed
28 June 2015 at 7:22 pm UTC

A small device like that would need less resolution, so I think than even if it uses AMD most of the SteamOS games will run there. Looks like a good idea. And I hope than AMD drivers will be in a better shape from here to the next year.
Since its and standarized hardware maybe they will be able to define which games will run on it and which wont (something than steam machines cant do)

I wonder if enough devs would develop unity games on Linux if there were an editor available. I hope so, I guess they are doing it since the UE4 editor is on linux.

Dota 2 Reborn Now Officially Supports Linux, Early Look
23 June 2015 at 5:34 pm UTC

seems to be it's only 64 bits (what is good to focus more on that architecture). I installed it on windows, but each update means like 5 gb, I guess its not for slow-internet people lol.
Now (after some more dota reborn updates) I hope to see benchmarks comparing both OS to see if source 2 is as good as we expected

QuoteSteam machines are too slow for the Vive VR anyway

That hurts, I don't care a lot about the market reasons, but to justify it with a technical reason....... I don't know. I hope that's not true, since nvidia performance its suppose to be good.

Unity Working On A New Unified OpenGL Rendering System

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: edoStill not enough to run Unity 5.1 games, but you are right.
I don’t think you need to worry as their blog post states the new renderer supports “all versions from 2.1 to 4.5”.
I thought the point of this was just to support one Opengl renderer for all the platforms, I guess I have to re-read it
