Would be awesome if that steam hardware survey showed up more frequently, not just to random people, but everyone on the same day.

I still think my favorite style of this game is UFO Alien Invasion.

Do they not test these drivers on their own Linux box when they build them?

You can pick up a GTX 960 for about 150 - 170 USD.

Leak: AMD's new driver will apparently offer much better performance on Linux

It looks to be getting better, although i have also seen terrible performance with ATI cards in Windows as well. The driver built for ATI in amiga systems was pretty amazing though.

Got it to load fine, however i started the tutorial, and right when it was telling how to use WASD to look around in the map, it got stuck and wouldn't stop moving to the lower left of the screen.

My Own Thoughts On The Steam Controller, Flawed, But Fun

Quoting: ricki42
Quoting: OrkultusSo i just got my Steam Controller last night, and i can use it when i have it plugged into the usb cable, but for some reason when i go to add / test steam controller in big picture mode, when it says Hold X while powering on your controller, it doesn't find it. Anyone else having this problem?

im on Peppermint OS 64bit. I even went as far as adding the udev rules for the steam controller.
I'm not following. It works as it should with the wire connected, but not at all wirelessly? Or it doesn't work in BPM?
I don't think I had to do anything to manually add the controller, Steam recognized it automatically. Or are you connecting to a Steam Link?
I got it working, thanks.

I wonder if you could use this out of game as well. For your entire computer. Would be great practice.
