Oh crap, i just installed some updates day or two ago for my W7, I hope Valve will speed up their linux OS so i can get rid of M$ trash tl;dr version: If you're looking for a console-like experience, SteamOS works great. If you want a full-fledged desktop, you're better off using a different Linux distro Full version: SteamOS already exists, has for a while now, as for whether it's ready for prime time, that part I'm not sure of. The last time I tried it, which was sometime very early this year I found the actual implementation of Steam Big Picture Mode to work quite well. If all I was looking to do was to use it like a console, then it was good to go back then, it worked great. What I didn't like was their desktop implementation. It used (likely still does) GNOME 3 by default, a desktop environment I don't particularly like (keep in mind that this is a personal preference, lots of people like GNOME 3 just fine) and the default selection of software available, while sufficient for most tasks, was rather minimal (as a long time Linux user, I'm used to having a billion choices for all standard desktop programs readily available at my fingertips out of the box). I couldn't install my beloved XFCE desktop because it wasn't in their official repos, so I had to add repos myself, then repos for other programs I wanted. Then I altered lines in config files to make sure SteamOS chose official SteamOS repos over the repos I installed myself, since there may have been some overlap and I wanted to make sure I didn't run into version mismatch problems (probably an unnecessary step, but a safeguard). It was at this point that the thought occurred to me: Why jump through hoops to get a desktop I like in SteamOS when I can just use Xubuntu and have a desktop I like out of the box and only do a little bit of tweaking to dial it in just so? Anyway, I am curious to give it another shot, just to see how it has progressed in the half a year or so since I last tried it. I would expect their official repos are probably a lot more robust now, so there would be a lot less adding of 3rd part repos necessary. I'll likely install it on my laptop (which I barely use these days) to see how it's progressed, since I'd have to resize partitions to make room on my desktop to set it up in its own partition, and I'd rather not do that when I can just pop it on my laptop and then later replace it with a clean installation of another Linux distro (there is nothing much of value on my lappy, so I don't need to take careful care to avoid writing over home partitions or anything). My own experiences with SteamOS (granted, a while ago) was that it worked quite well as a console OS. It booted straight into Steam Big Picture Mode and playing games was quick, easy, and seamless, just like you'd expect from a console. It had more or less the same limited computer functionality that modern consoles have, plus a little more, so compared to PS4 or XBone (yes, I still call it that, I refuse to change) or Wii U, it compares quite well. As a full fledged desktop, while it can be made to work, you're much better off just installing one of the other Linux distros of your choice in whatever variant you desire (one of the Ununtu, Linux Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, etc.) and simply installing Steam. Whatever performance improvements Valve make to the Linux kernel to maximize game performance will always get backported into the kernels other popular Linux distros, such is the way of open source. Hopefully Steam Machines officially coming out in a couple months further pushes publishers and developers to port existing games to Linux and, more importantly, develop for Linux from the get go, so that it become s a more viable gaming platform. It has made great strides since GabeN, our Lord and Saviour, has put his conductor hat on and started driving the Linux gaming train, but it's still far more limited than Windows in terms of choice. Hmm not sure how i feel about that. Not that I use my PC for much more than gaming, internet, media player and occasional word/excel work but what is Steam Big picture mode?

I assume we are talking about Trump. If his offensive remarks are taking away from his actual substance and platforms, that is completely on him. Although oddly, it seems to be helping him in the primary. Hard to say how that would translate in a general election, you would think offending large swathes of the country would be a bad strategy. Way to dodge my question btw. edit: Just to rephrase it, what is your 'suggestion' for people that are offended by what Trump has said? Prove he is wrong

Uh, you can a bit of decorum without being a tyrant. ...which isn't my point either. Being "offended" is a smokescreen for controlling speech no matter how you spin it. No its not that people don't understand, its your premise that is questionable You basically making excuses or trying to justify offensive\rude\crude\derogatory comments Well, you know, if you have real discussion there is always one side ''offended''. If not, what is point of discussion in first place?

Ha, I would love to see Trump as US president, so much fun! I like how it is showing that even if you are kind of douchbag at least you can still find people who like honest talk than that politically correct jiberish every other politician have to use

when should enhanced edition be released? tempted to get it for some reasonable price

pay the price for trusting Microsoft .. seriously who name company after his ****

Thinking about getting back to EVE too man

Ok thanks, so far that Crime wave is closest i would say. except you cant jump in it and I think I could jumped in it, aslo i think I could get rocket launcher assautl rifle

Already mentioned, renegade is beat em up, this one was shooter. I dont know, there is no list of old games, something like IMDb for movies?

nope, none of these, Operation Wolf is not even sidescroller from pictures

Nah, no star ships, no aliens, just city action if I recall correctly.

good try but its beat em up game and mine was shooter kind of like Contra

You were already thinking about scoring some tail at 6 -8? Damn, you were advanced. I also have to mention that "save the girl" is the plot to 90% of the games from the 80s and early 90s, so that doesn't really narrow things down. I didn't have clue that my junk is for something else than urinating at that time but still, boobs are boobs

Dude I can recommend some classy adult entertainment websites if you looking for nudity ? Dude, I was like 6-8 when I played it Okay, I never realized you Czechs were so conservative ....my bad Not sure what do you mean by this but please don't derail my thread, I think you can play with Volo somewhere else

No, I love flashback so i am sure it was not it, it was not commander keen, it was not cartoony and it was not Duke as you were fighting humans, not monsters

Nope, this looks too old, I think that your goal was to safe some girl, but my memory is really blurry (fun fact, I hoped that there is some cheat to see her naked after you rescue her)

nope, not that one, I remember i was playing it in NC, also at that time I got games like Golden Axe, Prehistoric, Battle Chess... BTW it was not metal slug and I am even not sure if Contra was ever ported to PC

Hi guys, When I was very young and got my first 286 or 386 I played some sidescoller shooter type game with Rambo like character and I for god sake can't remember how it was called. All I remember is that starting mission was probably on some train station. Any ideas please? Cheers

Dont we have some SJW thread where you two can argue over and over again?

so much sanitarium vibe, me gusta, and it will be on gog

No pit lord

Now that's just sad. Despite all it's problems Mafia series used to have somewhat unique identity. Seems like they are holding to script I know, i think it will not be bad, we will see

Hey spoiler alerts please
