"the game runs perfectly under Wine and I don't see why they should rush"

Not the right attitude dude! we don't want to let companies off with this.

Quoting: crabelA real hammer. Something that will move lots of gamers from Windows to SteamOS.

And that makes it an exciting thing.

I really don't see them combating windows users front on with this. Its more to give the Xbox and PS users another option that will also be able to share the game library with whatever desktop they use (windows or linux).

SteamOS is not a desktop os its for next to your TV.

I built my own steam machine and have been using it daily.

They have been really improving the UI of late. No long is it covered with windows games you cannot play when you go to the store.

I used to have an xbox but now this is my "console" and has been great when mates come around for some local player coop.

I am looking forwarded to the controller however!

Was launching the 64bit version.  Looks like they have some work to do there.  32bit works great though :)

Doesnt work with Fedora 19 out the box.  Bunch of mismatching lib's.

With some linking foo still falls over... seems they coded to some older libraries that we dont have anymore. :(

I dont really get the boycotting of Steam.  I am a long time linux user and i LOVE steam.  My OS is open and controllable but the applications i run on it i am not massively fussed about.

Sure if steam came out and said "you MUST use this kernel which we have added to but you dont know what it is" that would be a different story.  But they are not.

Since Steam has come to linux we have seen a HUGE surge of games coming over.  That can only be a good thing.
