Just found which game is going to test my brand new GTX960 4gb... :)

Quoting: GuestAnd that's one reason I'm more interested in the Vive.
HTC Vive is my way to go too, but I was told to check for the Razer OSVR. Since it's an open source project, anyone got impressions on it? It seems quite impressive too.

Linux usage on Steam is better than people think

Since when does PCWorld cares about Steam Hardware survey?

Wierd timing, it happens at the same time of Tim Sweeney (Epic Games) public attack against UWP (Windows Store).

This is a subject in which they seemed quite biased when covering it too. They used lots of easy shortcuts to discredit Tim Sweeney.

I'm beginning to have doubt about PCWorld's objectivity.

No, Linux is not at 1900 games on Steam, we didn't get 100 games in nine days

I get the whole picture, but have you seen the lineup of forthcoming games that just appeared on Steam displaying the SteamOS/Linux icon? I maintained my "explore" window up to date and usually get between 3 to 4 games per day untill yesterday. Today I got 3 complete screens with 11 games to "explore" and I don't know yet if there isn't a fourth. These games are all advertising SteamOS/Linux support... Sorry but wtf is going on?!?!?!

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: maodzedunBecause I wanted for kodi to be added as a launcher in there. Anyway, I'm happy you like it but imo it's crap. Ubuntu is a much better solution. In the end I just boot in ubuntu with kodi for movies and a modded Windows will solve my streaming problems (that one's on AMD though).
As Liam mentioned, SteamOS is explicitly designed as a platform for playing games through Steam. It's not meant to be a general purpose operating system.
Personnaly I did exactly that and Kodi launches from BPM and works great if you follow the "How to" on SteamOS forum. The Steam Controller is a great remote control for Kodi, btw.

Anyway, even if Kodi didn't work well I wouldn't complain about it because for gaming, SteamOS is awesome.

The Bug Butcher released for Linux & SteamOS, here's some thoughts for you

Local coop... Yes!

Maybe the Steam Machines' console experience will help multiplying the qty of this type of games... I got 2 SC. It will be fun to play with my kids.

This game looks great indeed.

GRID Autosport released for Linux & SteamOS, port report, video and review included

I read on Phoronix that this game is CPU bound. This would explain why I get 71fps average with my GTX750ti at High settings, 1080p. My CPU is an i7-2600 and seems to be able to do a good job even if it's 3 years old...
Amazing!

For those interested, Dubigrasu did a benchmark of Unity 4 vs 5... Quite promising:

Just look for the last page of the forum's comments.

Thanks Dubi!

GRID Autosport releasing for SteamOS & Linux on December 10th

I did the "error" of buying it in the spring when it was first announced together with a big sale discount. Because it was feral, I was confident so I bought it but I discovered later that they probably wouldn't get paid for it.

Doh! I'll never do that again!

In fact it's the only game that I can't play, right now. Aside from Rocket League that I got with my Steam Controller, but I don't really care about this one.
