Why did you let this happen /g/?
And now you're on your way to kill Ubuntu by promoting Linux Mint as well. Which means Debian won't have any productive contributors anymore, besides Microsoft of course.
Will the year of the Linux desktop ever happen? It has never been closer than this and it bombed.
Linux is a meme, I use BSD

how so? i see more and more linux games on my linux steam. Divinity OS, PoE, ArmA3, CoH2 from recently ported ones. It's growing faster than ever.

how does it feel to be the cancer that is preventing Linux to gain momentum?
and SteamOS is not desktop OS
>gets gaming companies and hardware manufacturers to support Linux
How many? 4 companies that make AAA games and 5 hardware manufacturers?
Whole SteamOS living room project was copypasta from Android.
Whole model relies on fuckhueg selection of models to choose from. And Android achieved that. It took some time, yes, but Android was never seen as declining or even forgotten.
Valve has what, small selection of machines that cost more than consoles, and normalfags don't see why those would be worth their price.
Valve needs to extend choice of hardware if they want whole thing to take off.
Now everyone politely send mail to [email protected] in which you request that Valve dedicates more resources to SteamOS development and making Linux good gaming platform.

Not that guy but it literally is cancer. It worms its way into friend groups and sucks up all their time. Literally all I hear about the game is complaints.

Steam OS would be great if it allowed Debian repos without conflicts and fuckups. I might as well just install Debian and start from scratch. Can't even get playonlinuc loaded without some weird fucking unmet dependency errors. I might just go full Windows 7.
>>52122193
mobas are fun and suitable for people who need to engage and disengage quickly due to limited time. after working the whole day I only have an hour worth of stamina for gaming.
whatever.
I want /v/ to go.
>>52122359
Debian is comparable to XP and Ubuntu is the Windows 7 equivalent. Obviously older version with outdated packages will give you shit.
Ubuntu flavors have no such issues. Wine 1.7/1.8 have improved the system. The previous bug where you could not alt+tab out of league is gone now, it works with any compositor flawlessly.
The funny thing is that my GPU temps are close to 75C on Windows and Linux only around 58C during games, not sure why.
>>52122311
>all I hear about the game is complaints.
which means, you didn't play it yourself for a period of time so your conclusion is meaningless.
congratulations.
>>52122359
Dota 2 Reborn runs natively on Steam without using Wine. Performance is pretty good on Ubuntu m9. I got San Andreas, Warcraft 3 and Diablo II also working without any issues.
I am in the process of testing Saints Row and Legacy of Kain series now.
>>52122455
Maybe I should try child rape, I hear it's pretty bad but what do I know?
Linux's problems go far beyond a lack of user base.
The whole thing is such a patched together mess with API's changing day and night that it's almost impossible to develop for.
There is no natural growth in Linux applications. Every application it has was ported from other systems.

Source 2 fixed the flaws in Source 1 and enhanced the engine's performance on modern hardware with native OGL and Vulkan. It not shit in the sense that it's worthless, it's shit because you didn't like Source 1 to begin with.

The translation is very specific to Source 1. Specifically it translates DX calls to OGL on the fly. I believe the shaders are also converted automatically.

>Gayben's gift of gaymen to gaymurs.
>>52123091
Xubuntu. I installed the Ubuntu core first using minimal ISO then installed Xubuntu desktop with selective packages.
Xubuntu desktop is not the same as Xfce desktop though which is very basic and lacks certain features.
The retarded bait.
Desktop linux has always been minimal
The same gnu/linux has always been the main server and supercomputer OS though.
The only change the last 5-10 years, is that android/linux is dominating the smartphone market, a bigger market than PCs.
>>52123262
Linux always had potential, it just needed refinement. The focus shifted too much towards servers which is okay but Linus always envisioned it to be an easy to use desktop OS.

And it's been fully usable for most things for a long time, the only hole I see is video editing. The problem is always software support.
Linux might actually have a big chance if ARM keeps improving while x86 doesn't, since windows doesn't have it's one advantage (software) on arm.

>>52123484
Sure you can do that. Few do though, most people only see it as a training ground to learn how to play. A lot of it is the fact that the bots in leauge are so easy it's just a contest who can farm the most kills.
If you just want to play against bots there's much better games, like diablo or torchlight.
I thought SteamOS was going to be a full OS that utilizes WINE, but has a dedicated development team behind it to make WINE run as efficiently and bug free as possible.
When I found out it wasn't, I dropped it quick.

So in the end is there any advantage to having steamos installed versus just having a standard Linux distro with steam OS shell or whatever? Side question what further advantage does any of that have over just having windows 7 installed with big picture mode in steam? Far as I can tell I get more support in windows.
