Guppy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse#announcements/detail/1930088300965516570 SteamOS will be made available when the prototype hardware ships. It will be downloadable by individual users and commercial OEMs. (But unless you’re an intrepid Linux hacker already, we’re going to recommend that you wait until later in 2014 to try it out.) Still in two minds about weather to get it or not - I run Linux Mint ( basically Ubuntu with a desktop that doesn't get in your way ) on all my own systems so I'm not convinced there is any gain. Hopefully they will have a liveCD/USB What about you - are you going to take this opertunity to try linux now, or stay with the familiare comfort of Windows / Mac OS ?

Guppy Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 http://repo.steampowered.com/download/ Only works with nividia at this time. The steam-runtime environment should let any distro act as a steambox and seems like a much more appealing alternative - for developers at least: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime Quote System: Linux Mint 17 ( = Ubuntu 14.04 with cinnamon desktop ) Ubuntu 14.04, AMD HD 6850, i5 2500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I get to try out the hardware in January. Will post my impressions. 3 Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
