Words of warning, I bought a pair of Corsair VOID RGB headsets, [External Link] of course it was USB / RF

They only half worked and half froze Gnome , definitely do some research to make sure Linux is compatible before throwing down.

Some headsets have aux backup in addition to rf or bluetooth, I think those are a good thing to look for.

Last I looked these were interesting as they had analog, bluetooth and some sort of built in mic.
Sony MDRXB950BT/B Extra Bass Bluetooth Headset [External Link]

I dunno if the Mic is too good, but the thing that put me off was after owning Sol Republic I wish all headphones were as indestructible as Sol Republic

Skip Ahead to the bendy parts.

I hooked it up with a Magnetic Mod Mic and it works pretty good although having 1 cable is still a little annoying, but I guess I buy stuff like I use Linux - I like 1 point of failure, it seems like when a device like a All In One Printer, Scanner, Fax is together that 1 part of the unit never works right and if 1 area breaks the whole thing breaks.

I guess what's why Sol Republic is nice with Mod Mic imo. They have Bluetooth Tracks Air too with backup analog, so thats cool.

Quoting: PicoboomI wonder. Has anyone seen the how many Linux gamers there are vs. Ouya gamers? I can't stop thinking, "Ouya? We lost out to Ouya?"

What? Ouya has [1177 games](https://www.ouya.tv/games/ [External Link]) after 3 years being released.

Steam Machines on the other hand have been out for 3 months? And have amassed [1,508 games](https://steamdb.info/linux/ [External Link]).

Also, Ouya is Android right? Meaning using Archon we could probably play and run any APK on SteamOS for OUYA or Android that we could get our hands on.

$ archon-exec my-game.apk

(Bundle in a game-icon.png, launch-my-game.sh and a .desktop launcher and you can add it to Steam Big Picture)

I used my Chrome Developer Console to get the URL of the Photoshop for Android APK and pulled it down with wget and booted it in Archon just fine.

Cool. Personally, the X1 controller feels cheaper than X360 - the giant letters on the buttons that fade off with use feels cheap to me.

I think the general public will be surprised and like this very much though since 4 X1 controllers run you at least $200 and not all prefer the current Steam Controller current version.

Wasn't Rome II pushed out a bit early and had major issues? Has that changed? or was that another Rome game.

I was annoyed when they did a mandatory update at cost to the players.

They sure did a poor job managing funds & delivering as a well oiled machine.

Their split was a move to drop off all the negative reviews on their steam page.

40$ for a poorly built RTS? I say poorly because my kind of RTS is StarCraft 1 & 2.

My girl & me couldn't get into PA. And we're not willing to pay more money just to see if its still terrible.

There's my opinion.

Sure I like that I can use Open Source Drivers. What I don't like is how much juice I get out of AMD.

Who cares if its 16GB and 3Ghz if I only get 30% juice out of the card on Linux.

I never thought I would spend 800$ on 2 GTX 970s but I did, I would have rather owned AMD but that requires equal or superior specs to nVidia on Linux as its my only platform.

So AMD - Fix It. I don't care how, just do it and take my next 800-1200$ please!!!!
