Ubuntu Developers Join Debian In Getting Free Valve Games

Quoting: LinasI am not quite sure what Ubuntu developers did to deserve this more than let's say Fedora or Gentoo developers? SteamOS is NOT based on Ubuntu after all.
Ubuntu more than any other Distro put Linux into the hands of a lot more "average Joe's" than Gentoo. Hell Ubuntu is really what got me to stick with Linux and is why this website is even here in the first place.

Gentoo have never been here to make things easy for people, I don't personally feel that they deserve it at all.

Great article guys as usual, I have cleaned up the formatting since for some reason there where half pages gaps between section images?

Quoting: L4LinuxI would really like the "Arena games" to have an option for a slower, more realistic (as realistic an arena shooter could get anyway...) gameplay. I never liked this bunny-hoping at all.
That is my issue with it, it's too much for me with people bouncing here there and everywhere.
Is this comment a joke?
If you want a slower realistic paced game, then you play one. Saying a game that revolves around fast paced classic FPS action should have mechanics that slow it down to be more like modern FPS games is absolutely silly and contradicts the point.
No one is saying this should have mechanics to slow it down, are they?

I simply don't like fast bunny hopping games like this which is why I do stick to slower games.

Quoting: liamdaweGetting down to basics Linux is just a Kernel anyway, SteamOS is the distribution.
Then they should include GNU as well. "SteamOS GNU/Linux" or something.
Honestly, I like nothing less than people who try to force people to say "GNU/Linux", for one who cares and two it sounds crap. We don't need to confuse people even more.

Edit > To add to that, a reason why I hate it is "GNU/Linux" isn't even correct, it would be "GNU/Linux DISTRONAME". Since we don't want specifically state single distro's a general term of Linux to me is acceptable and less confusing.

It doesn't irk me at all. Getting down to basics Linux is just a Kernel anyway, SteamOS is the distribution.

I think it's quite sane for them to show it there.
