Quoting: KwaadpepperConsidering Osx is like 4%, GNU/Linux is lke 1%, and developers are like, we develop only for Windows and Mac because of the market share and stuff, [...]
So i think devs might stick to DX12 and use Metal, thats what may going to happen and my greatest fear, am i wrong ?

If I understand correctly, DX12 is Windows 10 exclusive. According to the latest Steam survey, Windows 10 is at 28%. Of course, a lot of people will upgrade once DX12 games are released, but the upgrade is only free during the first year, and if you update your hardware afterwards you'll have to buy a license (again, as far as I understand, I'm no Windows expert). So afterwards, people would have to either buy the Win10 license, or stick with the 7 or 8 license they have.
I'm kind of hoping that enough people sticking with Win 7 or 8 will make developers consider using Vulkan over DX12.

Quoting: fleskI asked them about it, and they replied that they plan a first round of beta testing with Windows only, and then a second round, which will include Linux and Mac. If all goes according to plan, they should start beta testing this coming spring.

OK, thanks for finding out! I might jump in at the beta level then.

Quoting: fleskHere's a new campaign that just launched and looks very interesting:

"a first-person parkour game about exploration, forgotten worlds, and secrets"

Yes, please! :)

Sorry about the double post, but have they indicated anywhere whether the beta will be on all platforms?

Quoting: KeyrockAt the very least, they should throw a disclaimer up along the lines of "Not all games pictured are currently native to SteamOS and may require streaming from a Windows PC to play on the NEN Steam Machine".

At 0:38 it says "Not all games illustrated will be available".

This looks really interesting. Will keep an eye on it.

I've never tried SteamOS, but on Ubuntu and Fedora, when I started Steam after installing, it showed me only Linux games by default. Of course, I didn't boot into big picture, don't know if that makes a difference. But I'm still surprised that the default would be different on SteamOS. In the video, Steam also suggests to stream a Windows game. Does it do that by default, or does it detect his PC is also logged into Steam? This could be the reason that it shows Windows games, because Steam knows he has a Windows PC that he could use to stream.

Quoting: etam@ricki42 They are "working on it" (steam community discussion [External Link] ... since February!

Yeah, that was the latest I could find. I was just wondering if anyone has seen anything more recent, or more specific. But I guess not, which doesn't bode well.

Has there been any update on the Linux version of Lumino City?
