This is probably also useful for Valve as well, since it's one less thing they will need to maintain themselves for SteamOS directly.

My thoughts exactly, if they do the leg work and get it into mainline then they can refocus on other tasks and improvements and let the community tweak it was needed.

The whole Linux platform stack seems like it's in a pretty good place save little quirks or snags here or there.

I can't recommend Distance enough, it's a fantastic game, although I can't compare it to other racer franchises 1:1. It's its own experience and the 4 player local play is fun too.

Quoting: KunamashinaAnyone got SteamOS running on AMD VEGA GPU? Mine is only black screen after booting.

Trying to update to latest kernel through virtual console but for some reason it stays 4.14 and no apt-get update or upgrade helps getting that 4.16 where I hope ryzen will work

RxVega64 is my GPU anyone have some advice how to get steamos to show display?

You probably need to hit escape or "e" @ GRUB and add the VEGA snippet of code to enable or try "nomodeset".

Then do as suggested and opt into Beta maybe.

Quoting: ShmerlI wish there was a mechanical keyboard with Unix layout...

I'm talking about this:

You could probably literally get that layout -- but you will may need to do something custom from here:

And if you couldn't get the keys changed on the keyboard level then you could write a new keyboard symbol in Linux -- I did this once because the Caps lock annoyed me. I turned it into a SUPER key on the low-level to reduce finger strain when doing weird key combinations.

Just bought a Ducky One TLK RGB with Chery MX Brown. I hear they're popular in South Korea for gaming.



I'm also looking for a second one.

Maybe a KBD75



I also dig the Vortex Race 3, but I'm not sure if I want to get a keyboard without the Insert key as it's handy in VIM



Here's a video of the KBD75 build process if you want to order it unassembled.

As for the Corsair STRAFE I would definitely say if you want to buy local and be able to demo or return it then it's a good pick.

When selecting other keyboards, keep in mind that some keyboards have volume buttons or rollers above the numpad and they are at a lower height than the keys below them -- so it will feel weird on keyboard versions with the volume rocker and or keys at a lower height.

That's pretty cool someone made a Corsair app, at least for Ducky it's cool that the color changer for all the keys and modes is built into the keyboard and function key changeable. So hopefully when it comes in it'll be a riot of fun.
