Editorial: I ditched SteamOS in favour of a normal Linux distribution for my gaming

Well, steamos was something that made me try Linux, I knew about it. But I hade never really giving any thouts about what linux is and why I should use linux and not windows.
I also agree, valve seems lazy or dont really care about there steamos, and they dont really do anything to push it. Or so it seems.

But Its the same thing with there client, its a bit half done and they really dont want to bother with it, and there is alooot of rooms for improvment to be done.
I do think valve wanned to make steam os to something that stores, and computer sellers would pick up as a destro to sell to gamers.

And valve dont really want to have anything to do with it, they just want it to slooowly grow.
I do hope steam os becomes a thing in the future, and valve has made alooot of improvments to linux with steam os.
And the steam client was hated when it first came out, now almost everyone want there games on it, if they dont have it they will lose money, if you arent EA and have battlefield or Mass Effect on your store.
So maybe in time, steam os will grow in to something.

I also think steam os is still in development, and its still in beta.
I can be wrong, so maybe once its more stable things like black screen, kernel crash or other wierd bugs wont happen.
Or atleast steam Os will be more stable with every update.

Edit: Kodi is a great thing, if u want to play games or watch movies/streams.

If there was a gog version of the game when you pre-order, it would be great :P.
Is this something you are allowed to stream on friday maybe :)?

Quoting: Xpanderlike said -force-opengl needs to be used to launch this to avoid white flashing and some graphical glitches.
Sadly that means older opengl rendering path and much worse performance than with newer glcore.
Seems to run well with the launch option fix :).

Quoting: subBTW :whistle:

View video on youtube.com
xD jesus, I was like this is really nice.
Suddely I saw some kinde of abomination and I nearly spilled my coffe.

If I already owned no man sky, and hade windows installed, and wanted to switch to Linux I would probably try this.
But buying a windows game, to then play it in wine, nah I dont really think so, no matter how good it runs.

Quoting: RTherenYou still didn't finish the first one?

It's pitty that I have weak HW now.
I really need to buy new desktop ASAP
The game has sadly been a project to complete.
Iv got the gog version, and there is no cloud save. During my Dual boot time, I hade a lot of loss in data.
And that lead to me reinstalling the game I think its 4 times now.
Anyways, Iv havent manage to be able to replay the game, and I recalled I was a few hours in to the game.
I will complete it, I just dont want to force myself to complete it.
