I can't imagine how much of a salary cut this must be!
Good for us though in the end.

There it is - Steam breaks 28 million users online

Is it just me, or 8 million people gaming seems such a small number? The onlinr number really means nothing, I leave my Steam open 24h a day, and I imagine many people do.
Like I'd imagine globally there are hundreds of millions of people gaming at any time, which makes windows gaming insignificant, let alone Linux.

I'm playing Northgard now, and it's very addictive! It's very different but somehow gives me a warcraft vibe.

Quoting: SolitaryWho knows, the question is what/why was it 24GB big before and how they managed to save 14GB.Maybe they used to have a whole distro with every irrelevant lib and app installed, then went and trimmed that. Like I think LibreOffice is installed by default on many distros, but obviously the deck doesn't need that.
SteamOS-like Linux distribution ChimeraOS 28 is out now

I'd guess chimera would adopt steamos3's interface, but I think it's still an improvement over steamos. For one, you can install games outside steam (like stepmania) and chimera takes care of integration with steam itself.

Ryan Gordon gets an Epic MegaGrant to further improve SDL, helping with next-gen APIs

Ugh, we don't need yet another graphics API. OpenGL is not going anywhere given the available layers (like ANGLE that does the same thing, translating to Vulkan, d3d, metal etc), what's the point of another OpenGL clone?
Also, ok you need 1000 lines to get a triangle to the screen, but then 1005 lines to write your whole graphics engine. No one writes a program to render just one triangle, and the cost of the boilerplate is amortized by the amount of work the game needs anyway.
