Frantically updating steam, no luck.

Quoting: keikiAnother point. Have you tested a gaming mouse for Linux so far?
I am heavy Computer user.
I had from Roccat: 5.1 Dolby Surroud Sound headphones, 2 mice.

Personal experience says:
1) Their hardware is rather fragile.
2) Hardware Support is good. Well, I am tech support guy, so I could talk their language and arranged to get replacement, which I never did, I couldn't bother.
3) Wifi mice are bad for you.(if you live in crowded house, other wifi devices are creating trouble) It's not Roccat specific, I guess, but... I would still mention that, as it affects them.

So... out of 2 mice, 1 wifi is still alive with my mom. It was cheapest one and sucky one. But I got their software for it. It was an eye opener. While software is not technically theirs, it's OSS project and a very nicely done one. So far it's best Linux peripheral I have ever had, JUST BECAUSE OF SOFTWARE.

Second mouse. Not expensive one, around 50 EU or so.(they have better ones)
After couple of years(of frantic usage, I am MMORPG and first face shooter fan, big time), side buttons on the wheel are starting to fail. I probably need to disassemble mouse itself and just clean it. But right now I am unemployed with 0 social help from country where I am based, and loosing mouse, that potentially helps me find a job is not an option. So screwdriver would have to wait.

Mouse will still work without software, if you fail to install it or if you can't be bothered, it's just you wont be able to program it.

All in all, I wouldn't buy their keyboard for 140 Pounds, but I would recommend mouse, as it's good value for money for Linux geek.

Quoting: GuestThey have a very long and unreadable EULA… -> no thanks.
I wouldn't consider a long EULA a good reason to avoid a game, Paradox, probably the most Linux friendly publisher, have an even longer EULA and Steam EULA is as long as the two put together...

Kind of a bittersweet feeling here as well considering how they treated Liam but I guess I'm glad the Linux port finally arrived (also because I was a backer!)
Tell me, have you ever fully read GPL3 license?

GOL’s first monthly hardware survey EDIT

the questionnaire is somewhat questionable.
i buy games when I believe they are good. In one month i can buy 5 on another nothing. I don't just buy every crap out there.

Also, about compiling steam machine...
It's sorta weird question. I compile my own PC's, if its better than steam os PC, does it qualify?
