Ok, you have no idea what you’re talking about with SteamOS “Optimization”. Trying to blame Linux is crap, the linux kernel is used heavily because it has A LOT of support and is extremely dynamic in what you want it to do . As someone who works with and on linux OSes everyday (Engineer), I can tell you OSes running…

How did FF14 beat Guild Wars 2 and WoW in the list? Those two are definitely the top MMOs out there with FF14 and SW:TOR in 3/4 places.

Exactly. I work as a Linux Systems Engineer. We use Puppet for our configuration management. Long story short:

XBox One controller DOES require batteries. I just got rid of mine to preorder the steam controller. The Logitech F310 and F710 work just fine in Linux and, for whatever reason, the XBox One implementation of the XInput driver seems to be different from the XBox 360, F310, and F710 as not all my games would detect the…

You do realize that this controller is designed to account for games that use traditional controls (Borderlands, CoD, Final Fantasy) and games using more PC-like controls (Starcraft, Civilization, etc).

This most likely will also work for any Linux Distribution as well.

How does this work out with the Copyright "Fair Use" clause? Can Nintendo even enforce this policy in the US?

My advice comes from the DevOps point of view:

We're still rockin F/A-18 Hornets after almost 30+ years

Compatibility generally isn't an issue, at least not with Google Docs and Word. I can edit a docx file in Google docs now. As for excel, I don't use the more advanced features of excel anyway and, in most of the situations that I've seem them used like that, the user(s) would be better off using a Database to store…

It really depends on what you need and want.

Oh, I know. I prefer that term to be applied to any personal computer, but I'm still seeing that lately with PC releases. No mention of SteamOS/Linux even if it is one of the release platforms. Like the media ignores it.

And it's on Linux/Steam OS as well, unless that doesn't count or is grouped with PC

Go ahead, make fun of the bug, but the only way that it can be utilized is largely by improper security settings and bad programms (Root-level scripts that set global env variables, Http CGI scripts). I've tried exploiting it on locked down servers and I still can't get root level access to break the security.

Seems about right, I am a bit confused by Ruby being classified only as web as that is most definitely false. It's also used in Server Applications, especially the Puppet and Chef Configuration Management Tools are both very large Ruby projects (they have other pieces to them, but they are both mostly Ruby) that are…

Unfortunately, in the Tech/Dev/Gaming world nearly ALL companies require there Developers, Systems Engineers/Admins, and any other tech related position to sign a contract that states that ANYTHING you create, even if it is in your free time at home, belongs to the company. These contracts are shady and horrible, but…

His point was that, in Valve's business model, SteamOS/Steam Machines could fail without costing Valve a Cent because nearly every game sold on SteamOS/Steam Machine would also work on other OSes (Win/Mac/Linux). So Steam doesn't do anything but gain with Steam MAchine Sales and really loses nothing if they don't…

Right, but I don't know a single person that doesn't already have a PC or Mac that can play most games.... maybe not at high settings, but that doesn't matter.

That's what the haptic feedback improvements are for - read the announcement, they address this.
