Great work, directhex and ecliptik! A summary of the differences, for the curious: Valve has removed a pointless second copy of the package manifest. Good, we only ever kept it because Valve did Valve doesn't include the package contents manifests. Valve does not include all of them they already included a couple, e. Valve includes them all, so has a bigger ISO Valve includes the bit version of the installer - no bit kernel though, so not usable on bit-only computers.
Valve does not include support for LVM or mdraid Valve includes an installer which runs from Windows. I don't know what functionality it allows or prevents compared to booting the installer directly Valve doesn't contain Ye Olde SteamOSe's audio hacks - it still only works properly on Brix or Prototype Valve has killed the old "expert" mode - Ye Olde SteamOSe's "Power User" mode is included instead, relabelled as Expert.
But no big loss, given VirtualBox is shit. Adi View Profile View Posts. Originally posted by directhex :. Last edited by Adi ; 21 Jan, am. Originally posted by Jack :.
Nice to see this kind of collaboration. Congrats to everyone! Originally posted by 42 :. Per page: 15 30 In making SteamOS available to you, we're excited to take the next major step towards that goal.
But before you dive in, please take a few minutes to understand what SteamOS is and what it is not. SteamOS is a public release of our Linux-based operating system.
The base system draws from Debian 8, code named Debian Jessie. Our work builds on top of the solid Debian core and optimizes it for a living room experience.
Most of all, it is an open Linux platform that leaves you in full control. You can take charge of your system and install new software or content as you want. Although we have made SteamOS freely available for anybody to install, the installation experience is not intended for a non-technical user. We will add support for newer hardware over time, but we have no plans to add more support for older hardware. Users should not consider SteamOS as a replacement for their desktop operating system.
SteamOS is being designed and optimized for the living room experience. SteamOS ships with our Steam Client program, which is proprietary software, in addition to proprietary 3rd party drivers. In the SteamOS standard configuration, the Steam Client program serves as a user interface and provides connectivity to our Steam online services. Our FAQ page has tips on writing a good mini-review. Version: -- 2. SteamOS will provide what you expect - gaming from the couch, from your PC.
Was this review helpful? Yes No. Version: 2. The UNIX philosophy has always been that you should do one thing, and do it well. Pros: -- Has decently up-to-date video drivers for gaming -- Steam preinstalled Cons: -- Lots of other distributions have reasonable up-to-date video drivers and Steam preinstalled -- Nothing else to recommend it Overall it's just an unfortunate artifact of how Valve has sadly but understandably backed off from native Linux gaming.
