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 ?

System:

Linux Mint 17 ( = Ubuntu 14.04 with cinnamon desktop ) Ubuntu 14.04, AMD HD 6850, i5 2500k

Windows is a 32 bit shell for a 16 bit extension to an 8 bit Operating System designed for a 4 bit microchip by a 2 bit company which can't stand one bit of competition

 

You can protect yourself from the 12/21/12 thing by not using the US short hand date format :lol:

 

21/12/12 ... Nope, that doesn't work

12/12/21 ... Doesn't work either

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:
