Ulk. Things should be improving somewhat, but everybody who uses Linux knows to go with NVIDIA for vastly better driver support.

That's his Definitely not Blitzcrank skin.

I've not played 3 yet, but I will say that the second game was actually fantastic, and delivered a pretty sweet RPG experience and story. This game that's filled with porn and sex and porn (which is, admittedly, rather poorly executed) actually made me leap with joy when I defeated bosses, and cry tears during the…

Please make note that Oglaf is more often than not very, very NSFW.

That was my first thought, too.

According to Phoronix, SteamOS comes with the Catalyst and Mesa drivers needed for ATI and Intel GPUs.

I've not done it myself, but from what discussions I've read, unplugging other hard drives is the easiest way to dual-boot SteamOS right now.

A couple bits of info that might help:

Sorta: there's a DirectX compatability layer called Wine that can be used to run Windows applications on a Unix-like, which has varying degrees of success with different games. It's finicky, usually slower, and often requires workarounds, but one can get Windows games to run on a Linux computer.

It seems to give a random response. I got "Poof, you're a sandwich," when I first said "Make me a sandwich."

Not listed: Asking "Sudo make me a sandwich" gives the response "Okay."

For pre-ordering XCOM: Enemy Unknown, I got an XCOM patch. I've still not figured out what I want to attach it to.

A cold boot attack may be possible, in the event of an entirely encrypted drive.

To give some idea of performance: this was a year ago, using 32bit Ubuntu vs 64bit Win7: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/faster-z…

If they're doing what we all think they're doing, they can't make SteamOS a closed system. GNU/Linux distros are open-source, with nearly all of the software licensed under the GNU or something similar. Almost all of them read something like "If you change this, and distribute your changes, you must make the source…

First off, GNU/Linux fragmentation and Android fragmentation are fundamentally different: With Android, it's all been "Google & friends write Android, phone companies skin it and can't be bothered to update their skins." When you look at what Android versions are most commonly used, we're just seeing people using…

"In SteamOS, we have achieved significant performance increases in graphics processing, and we’re now targeting audio performance and reductions in input latency at the operating system level," Valve writes.

SteamOS will be a GNU/Linux distribution.

As long as it doesn't ship with that god-awful thing called Unity (or it does give us a choice of window manager), it'll be a day-one install for me.
