What will it take for us to make SteamOS the majority share OS on home desktops?

>>53192753
Not being shit

>>53192753
better nvidia drivers
games optimized for opengl/linux

>>53192771

If you're gonna be retarded please do it elsewhere

>tfw there are more people using Steam on OSX than on any Linux

>>53192792
go back to /v/ SteamGoy

>>53192753
SteamOS is not for home desktops, it's for HTPCs and streaming devices.

Steam rhymes with Meme.

Not a coincidence.

those are the things that come to my mind.

Fucking pirate, kill yourself!
>>
>>53193042
I buy my games in dvd format. If the game doesn't get published on dvd and WITHOUT STEAM INTEGRATION I'm not buying it. Simple as that.
>>

>I'm not buying it. Simple as that.

That's why you're a pirate and should kill yourself
>>
>>53193093
Are you fucking stupid? I don't pirate it I just play somethkng else.

ftfy, mr. pirate.
>>
>>53192753
Nothing, because it will NEVER HAPPEN.

EVER.

now fuck off back to /r/pcmasterrace where you can jerk each other off to valve

>>53192753
>home desktops
That's not even it's purpose, it was made for HTPCs to compete with consoles, a really stupid idea.
>>
>>53192753
SteamOS isn't meant to be a desktop OS. That's like saying what it take for Android or ChromeOS to become the majority share on desktops.
>>
>>53193093
Yaaarrrrrrrrr! We be piiiirratteess!

I pirate the fuck out of games, always have, always will.

Playing a pirated Space Ace for the IIGS right now.
>>
>>53193346
It's just Debian with some fancy drivers, literally an ordinary desktop OS.

Windows is not meant to be a desktop OS. It's for games only.
>>
>>53192753
IT'S NOT EVEN MADE FOR THIS REEEEEEEEE

It's made to compete against consoles, not be a desktop. If you want Linux on your desktop just install a desktop distro like Ubuntu, Fedora or whatever the fuck. SteamOS is for consoles.
>>
>>53193344
>HTPCs

wat. It's made for cheaping gaming computers to work like consoles.
>>
What should be my "gaming" distro on Desktop, Ubuntu or SteamOS? Are there any huge advantages of SteamOS over Ubuntu assuming you have all necessary drivers?
>>
>>53194896
If its a desktop that you also use for games and not a computer used as a gaming console, then go with Ubuntu.
>>
Never, games, especially PC games, are pretty much irrelevant.
>>
>>53195357
This. Gaming is basically dead

Might as well use Windows

>>53196739
Windows cost money though.

It is shit, preforms way worse than on Windows.

I want the future to be a beautiful place, and Steam is beautiful!

Speak for yourself, I'm not some freetard lunatic shilling products for some random company, and even less for doing it for free.
>>
>>53198068
How the fuck is Valve just "some random company"?
>>
>>53192753
Nobody is going to use this unless they have to. Why would anybody give up os functionality unless they have to?

What OS functionality would you have to give up? Seems to me that SteamOS is looking pretty good
>>
>>53198589

I can't think of any functionality that is sacrificed
>>
>>53196670
friendly reminder to update your drake image md5 filterers

>>53198589
It's free.

PC gaymers will use it instead of pirated windows if it actually supports most games
