Quoting: wojtek88According to my knowledge Steam OS is missing important boot feature - booting machine on remote controller button press. I can't imagine living without that functionality on my living room's pc after I started to use ps4. Without that functionality, for me, it's still pc, not a console experience.

This is something I also hope can be sorted, it's not a major issue, but convenience is what these machines are supposed to be all about.

I'm torn on it all myself.

Exclusives are evil, I agree with that, but I also agree with the author that for the general gamer Linux/SteamOS really doesn't offer them anything they don't have right now on Windows.

What would be great to have is things like Netflix, I think Valve have missed the mark on that one. I know it's not up to Valve, but I do wonder if they have had a chat with Netflix about it.

Quoting: rkfgUnfoooooortunately, Early Access starts with Windows only. Mac/Linux will be added later so don't be overexcited. Yet.

From the Store Page [External Link]:

Windows 64bit will be the only initial operating system supported, though we will be rolling out support for Mac OS, Linux and Steam OS over time.

Really? Oh man, that must be a new addition since they only recently confirmed Linux. We just need to keep the pressure on ;)

Thanks for the feedback.

Quoting: maodzedunNo need to hurry. I checked the Windows benchmarks yesterday - seems for now Talos performs worse with Vulkan, so there is hardly a rush for people to use the latest driver.

Worse than DX11 as Vulkan in Talos isn't using multithreading yet, but Vulkan in Talos already beats OpenGL, so actually it would be nice to have it.

Quoting: Zapa"Did you buy a Steam Machine?"

^ Um.... Aghmmm! The Brix Pro is technically a steam machine. By that account I kinda, sorta, have bought it and installed SteamOS on it, does that count? if so, add one Yes to that question and substract the No!

Added a built my own option for next months.

Works on my SteamOS machine, so must be a lib issue or something on my Ubuntu install. Will let people know if I figure it out.
