GOL GOTY Awards Are Over, Here's The Top 10 From Each Section

yes... groups would be good
and i agree the games that were released only on that year (be it early access or not)

Categories would be something like:

-Best Linux Game of Year 2015
-Best Opensource Linux Game of the Year 2015
-Best Early Access Linux Game of the Year 2015
-Best DRM-free Linux Game of the Year 2015

could go more deep with

-Best Story In Linux Games this year
-Best Multiplayer ...
- etc

but if we go and get each genre out there i think there will be too many categories then :)
also with opensource games its really hard to mark when was it released.

well just some ideas

so far so good..few small graphical glitches

seems late for me also just lost all my youtube content..
i actually had the head parking minimized before but it died still without hitting 300k parking cycles
it was at around 250k and 2.5 years of life.

ordered a new 2TB seagate already.. seagate has never let me down in the past history.
with a record seagate beeing over 7 years powered on state :)

i usualy replace HDDs within 3-4 years anway so they have to last at least that long.

linux depot has a lot less subs attached: https://steamdb.info/depot/241281/subs/

than windows depot: https://steamdb.info/depot/241280/subs/

reported already on their forums as well..lets hope for the best

Steam Hardware Survey For December 2014
11 January 2015 at 11:38 pm UTC

Quoting: coryrj19951
Quoting: n30p1r4t3Isn't steamos still on 3.10?

Yeah, that is what it looks like on their GitHub page.
If it is SteamOS that their are showing, it is weird how they don't actually say "SteamOS" though


naah.. how many times it has to be said..its the distro that has no lsb-release package installed..
you can try it easily with uninstalling this package and checking steam hardware info.

you can also try different distros in vbox and test it

Steam Hardware Survey For December 2014

Quoting: Jarno
Quoting: Guest"it's latest release"
And confirming that on Arch, Steam reports "Linux 3.10 (64 bits)".
I'm also using Arch and Steam says: "Arch Linux" (64 bit).

cause jarno has lsb-release package installed but stan doesnt.


about the survey: indeed it seem to be more common for distro hoppers and wine users, cause wine version changes rapidly and you then get the survey more often - at least it seems thatway

Linux 3.10 is yeah multiple distros that doesnt have lsb_release package installed
Arch is the same when thats not installed, even though the kernel is newer.
