I will need a how-to to install that thing. Never been able to make it work on Kubuntu. I see the SC icon in the apps but clicking on it does nothing at all.

Do we still have to stop it before launching Steam?

Edit: Oh! The OpenSuse build service is available again... Had the 404 error last time I checked. Going to give it a shot.

What about a thunderbolt connector for eGPU compliance? Just an idea...

I think it isn't out of reach in the case of a zen based apu, if the goal is to run games at medium settings like many actual consoles do.

But it's just speculation. IMO, the day Blizzard port it's game catalog to Linux is the day Linux gaming has won. It's more a dream than a possibility. :)

This said, hardware needs exclusives to sell. That's why Steam Machines failed. There was nothing you couldn't get by other means or on "the other OS"... Let's see what Atari has in store, this time...

Still, if Atari wants to sell it's Ataribox, the content will have to be exclusive to the Ataribox else it's going to be a a failure. Why buy the Ataribox if you can play the games on PC?!

But if you have no choice but to buy the Ataribox to play your Atari games and then had the Steam client to play AA games available on Linux... Will it start to attract the attention of known developpers who offer games on modest computer configurations (Blizzard I'm looking at you)? :)

Isn't Doom running on the Nintendo Switch afterall (and it's a AAA title)?

Edit: Ataribox + Steam... Valve will have to create a "recommended for Ataribox" in it's search criterias. :)

Quoting: MohandevirIf it is Zen AMD APU based, chances are that it will be more powerfull than the actual Nintendo Switch and will probably play in the same league. If Atari gets back into the publishing game again for futur titles, this is the Linux box I've been waiting for. Mine! Mine! Mine! :)

"While there are no firm specs revealed (as of writing) beyond the use of a ‘customised’ AMD CPU and Radeon graphics, we do know that the machine will be sold in a range of 'memory configurations'."

Looking forward to these 'memory configurations'.

I hate to nitpick, but we have the exact same info in the article, especially since we are the source of OMG's news for this ;)

Oups! Sorry! Lol!
Nice to know! Already knew you are the best, Liam! ;)

Job done! Just bought mine.

Edit: Is it just me or the hardware specs requirements seems low for such an awesome looking game?

Quoting: slaapliedjeSure bro... your 11 year old daughter... admit you're a fan!

A fan is a little too much but I'm not going to say that I hated it. ;)
Still, not in my usual peferences.

Yep!

I was forced, by my 11 years old daughter, to listen to Taylor Swift music...

"...Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off..."

CDPR this is for you.

ROFL!

N.B. I'm not cautionning at all all the hate that was sent to CDPR and probably VP. Nothing justifies a lack of good-manners.

From all I read from Feral, F1-2017 is nearly granted so I would like it to be another game. It would make 2 Feral ports for the price of one radar signal and from the previous post, Rise of the Tomb Raider seems likely.

Nothing impossible, last fall we saw Mad Max and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided happen back to back, within a month.

Please Awesome Feral, let it be so! No pressure intended. :)

Edit: If it's about the Mac icon that's gone, shouldn't we consider Bioshock Remastered too, then ?

Edit2: This said, F1-2017, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Bioshock Remastered are all insta-buy to me. So porting all of them would be the best case scenario.
