Linux
This is bait.
I'll probably stick with Windows just because there are so many older games that will never get Linux ports. Although if Microsoft drop the ball with 10 like they did with 8, I might look at making the switch.

Kill yourself OP, >>>/v/
Also confirmed open source Vulkan drivers for linux at gdc few hours ago.
>>285753060
SteamOS is a gaming platform, Windows 10 is a normal OS.
>>285753060
What is steam OS exactly? I've been too busy actaully playing video games to pay attention to it.
>>285753837
SteamOS is Linux though, so all this stuff applies to Linux OS's.
wait what
windows 10?
Didn't 8 just come out?
What happened to 9
I'm not going crazy am i?
>>285754038
So basically means this includes Android as well, which means that DX12 is already wrecked, not to mention the mantle benchmarks we saw.
so is vulkan exclusive to linux? it was pretty impressive.
>>285754192
fuck off
devs barely even support pc in the first place, what makes you think they're gonna support two pc platforms? if steamos even catches on it will just another shitty content war of companies paying each other to keep games away from one or or the other.
>>285753945
Microshit is trying to make their Marketplace or whatever all-inclusive for games.
Gaben is like "fuck that shit" and moves over to Linux.
So this is like a Linux-based OS specifically for gaming.
Vulkan will run on Windows, OSX, Ganoo Linucks, anything that supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and better, you fucking morons. DirectX12 won't be on anything other than Windows-based systems. Learn to read:

Vulkan because it's multiplatform you mouthbreathing retard.
>>285754447

>>285754408

Oh it's fuckung shit
>>285754269

Top kek
>>285754408
It's also complete shit and Gabe's pulling the same walled garden shit MS are doing using closed source debian. Just that Gabe has a defense force.
>>285754295
>so is vulkan exclusive to linux? it was pretty impressive.
NO, but linux only support openGL will be replaced Vulkan
>Microsoft office for steamos
>>285754332
But that would be the best possible outcome for us, competition is always good for the consumers and we can dual-boot two free OS's rather than having to buy $700 worth of consoles.
I'm gonna keep my "gayman" laptop for older games that aren't supported on linux and for just normal PC shit, but I'll put steamOS on my desktop build.
>>285753060
SteamOS is linux.
And you know how everyone likes linux right?
It would be a decent OS if developers supported it, I'm not talking about game devs, I'm talking about software devs. You're 10 times better off with a fucking Mac OS.
>>285754676
well it is now, since AMD abandoned Mantle in favor of DX12
I'll be using both. But my heart will be supporting Steam OS.
Hopefully, in the future I'll just be running Windows in virtual machines just for legacy compatibility for old games.
>>285753060
>windows 10
>still trying to force the fucking panels
Nah 7 is working out ok for me.
>>285754676
Beats DX/D3D, so why complain?
>>285754687
>>Android
>>Good developers
I think so. Carmack's developing for Android. I think the real problem is that Android is such a fucking mess to begin with.
>>285754967
That's false. Vulkan is based on Mantle and AMD worked on Vulkan.
>>285755098
>panels bad
>BUT MUH WINDOWS 8
Windows 8 is great
>>285755217
>shit is bad
>BUT MUH SHIT PILE
Shit is great
>>285754967
The worst thing about this shit is because Gaben's attached his name to it. There's a ton of valvedrones now claiming OpenGL was never bad, Vulkan is amazing (Despite being an alpha and years off)
Fucking steambiciles ruin everything
>>285753060
When are we going to see the fucking steamOS? And no not the build they have up right now of Linux with steam pre installed, we all know that isn't all steamOS will be.
>>285753060
>SteamOS
700$ linux PC + Digital Store ("Hey guys Steam has 60% sale every 250 days of the year ")
>Windows 10
"Hey guys Piratebay has a 100% sale every day of the year"
Even linuxfags rarely buy digital games.
>>285755098
Have fun with no games then.
>>285755330
Loonixfaggots go home >>>/g/
>>285755217
eating shit is not an achievement
>>285753060
So far I'm more interested in W10 and DX12, but I've got no idea in how things will turn out.
Windows because
a) I like playing more than valve games and indie shovelware
ii) I use my computer for things besides games
3) SteamOS and games made for it will be buggy and unoptimised for fucking years
>>285755356
SteamOS will literally be Linux with Steam pre-installed, yes.
So is there any more GDC stuff to look forward to or are we done here?
>>285755125
yes but they did abandon it
>>285753136
Keep dreaming.
>>285753060
what the fuck is a vulkan ayy
I'm going with the one that has MCC in 1080p/60fps
>>285755125
>Beats DX/D3D (When used on Nvidia and only under a specific set of circumstances and we hope you like bugfixing yourself), so why complain?
Fixed
>>285754767
>changing operating systems to play another game
You don't want this.
>>285755747
It's a Mantle sidegrade
but what happens if directx becomes cross platform?
also, dx is so much better to work with
its definiely not cheap loonix freetard bullshit
>>285755604
It won't though. Valve are not just going to release Linux with Steam installed as a competitor to Windows. They need to smooth the OS out, make it super fucking simple to use, also add features to make people want to use it..
>>285756216
>but what happens if directx becomes cross platform?
>>285753060
VULKAN IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY RUN ON LINUX YOU DUMB FUCK
HOLY SHIT WHY IS THIS BOARD IS FUCKING RETARDED.
>>285755559
>SteamOS and games made for it will be buggy and unoptimised for fucking years
But SteamOS is being built from an existing stable OS. Just look at Ubuntu and Mint.
>>285756216
It's not going to ever be on Linux.
>>285756224
>smooth the OS out, make it super fucking simple to use, also add features to make people want to use it
So, Ubuntu?
>>285756341
oh, thanks!
>>285753060
why
not
both
>>285756381
by valve, who fuck everything up
and fuck all games are made for linux so devs won't know what the fuck to do with it
>>285756017
Bit like exclusive console games. No one wants that either.
>>285756216
>but what happens if directx becomes cross platform?
other than hell freezing over, getting struck by lightning, winning the lottery, and having jenna jameson time travel from 1994 to show up at your door to suck your dick? not much.
>>285756519
Ubuntu's worse than Windows now though.
>>285756519
Needs to be smoother than Ubuntu, if you compare that to a Windows install and set up its still complex.
Valve need to completely idiot proof SteamOS if they want it to become a thing.
>>285755356
Why don't you go download the latest version and see it for yourself?
>>285756381
Valve built it closed source and infested it with irremovable DRM and spy tools. It's walled garden bullshit. And getting away with it because people suck gaben's dick.
Everyone said SteamOS and Steam Machines are a bad idea. And Guess what? In practice, they fucking suck.
>>285756216
4chan and Reddit will merge into one
Any smart person will dual boot until the content war is over.

YES VULKAN API FIRST WAS A NEW API FOR WINDOWS 10.
THE DEV ALSO MENTION IT CAN RUN ON 7 VISTA AND XP.
FUCK ALL OF YOU ONLY HEARD VULKAN FIRST THROUGH STEAMOS.

Fuck off /g/ you retarded shit.
>>285756989
Why? There aren't going to be Linux exclusive games, but there will still be Windows exclusive ones. Macs been competing with Windows gamewise for longer than Linux and there's still plenty of games not being put on there.
