Excellent. My Index just entered "Shipping Soon" status today. So excited.

People forget Valve is not a "single entity" with a single mindset focusing on one problem at a time.

Valve is a Bee Hive of many independent game developers and engineers.

The same people who made the Index Controllers likely didn't change their passion of interest in Human Input Devices.

And since Valve operates by committee to those of you who have read the Valve Employee Handbook I am not surprised whatsoever that they are working on a Steam Controller v2.

I just hope it has the option of having 2 joysticks. SC grew on me over time, though my only wish is for the track-circles to be replacable.

Any AMD Index owners here to weigh in? As a previous Nvidia user I am not surprised in the slightest.

Still waiting on my ship date.

Quoting: dubigrasuThey also said about future SteamOS being possibly image-based (not apt/etc) for better control and consistency, so whatever distro will be based on won't likely be a plain Arch/Debian/whatever with an "SteamOS" sticker slapped on it.

Good. With all the world to homed, there is no reason that the entire OS can't or shouldn't be mounted as "read-only".

As for the Debian gang being butthurt about their Valve previously noting Arch as an investigative option -- lol. That's what happens when Canonical/Ubuntu decides to kill 32-bit support. I mean you guys don't EVERY game developer on Steam still has the source code or funding to port to 64-bit like the FOSS community which doesn't run on funds but passion.

I'm a million points in so far for the week, took some time to figure out to configure it and find all the linux-friendly tooling like fahcontrol.

Remember @everyone to check your $sensors and those of us on AMD to setup fan curvature to keep our equipment in good health. It gets a bit toasty.

Right now, I mainly run it between bedtime to around morning or noon.

Just built a Intel NUC a few weeks ago for like $800. I would have been down to buy this but looks like it won't be out for a while so.

Honestly if Privacy were high priority I think I would just go for a Raptor Talos II POWER9 with Gentoo as my OS.

I can respect them for trying to hit 2 targets at once though -- privacy and the average consumer (like apple with their Mini's)

Excellent.
I have my Valve Index ordered
and have waited a while so games
and support could catch up since
Valve Index's launch.

Very excited to dive into VR and enjoy.

Nice of them to include a clock. Kindof reminds me of Gnome a little bit :P This kind of stuff really intrigues me. Like instead of having screens with limited pixel density the ability to have a VR headset and virtual screens of any pixel density and scale really is interesting.

Fuck... okay maybe if they do those things I might forgive them and actually buy their new shit.

Lets be honest we all know what Operating System they are using in the Metro.
