Time for the Linux port!

This is the main thing holding back the platform in general to be completely honest. If companies making hardware don't take it seriously then the companies that require that hardware won't either. I.E. The game makers require working 3d acceleration with properly supported drivers. Something they really don't have right now.

Okokok but wake up : now SteamOS is here ! I'm playing with my gaming computer (I5, GTX780, 16GB RAM, P8Z77-I DELUXE, Turtule Beach Earforce Seven, Steelseries Gaming Mouse, G11 old great keyboard ). I'm playing native games like borderland 2, Broken Sword, Dota2, Counter-strike : Go, Planetary Annihilation, Shroud of the Avatar, Tropico 5, Goat Simulator (THE HIT xD) etc... I'm using Ubuntu and trust me : there are NOT a SINGLE ONE compatibility or perfs problem !

Steam OS is an idea barely out in the wild and hasn't from what I've seen had very heavy traction. Compare that small list of OLD games with a real list of games PC can play and I'll yawn and fall asleep while you go down the PC list cause it will take you so long. It's not even really on the same playing field.

As for driver issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWzMvlj2RQ
It's a known issue.

You don't know what you're talking about.
1 - Planetary annihilation is 3 months old, Tropico 5 around 6 months old if I remember well and Shroud of the Avatar is one of the most anticipated MMORPGs for THIS year. It's in alpha. And Dota2 engine is always up to date.
2 - Linus was talking about optimus tech. Hybrid intel/nvidia notebooks. We don't care about this in living-room gaming. Anyway, it's fixed. And they released Linux PhysiX.

I love this game. I'm a Gnu/Linux user and old gamer. I just want to help, not argue against nonsense.
