† L4ugh Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Valve has released a beta of their upcoming SteamOS, and it seems to be based on debian stable/wheezy. According to the site, it will overwrite the entire hdd of the computer you install it on. This means dual booting is out of the question at least for now. It doesn't look like I'll get a chance to try this one anytime soon. I lack a spare pc to test it on, so I'll have to wait awhile. I am, however, liking the progress off the Steam Linux Client. This console may be the only one I bother with this gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 It looks pretty cool, but I would likely wait until comes out fully before getting it. Also its kind of amusing that it's hardware specs say that you need a minimum hard drive of 500 GB or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geared more towards developers than end users. I believe things will start to get interesting when Portal 2 finishing being ported. That's the one I'm really waiting for. I imagine the 500 gb is more for the massive size of games today than anything involving the actual OS. They could probably save a decent amount of space on the OS if they ditched gnome3. A bloated desktop like that really isn't necessary for something that's going to boot straight into Big Picture Mode. The only thing I'm worried about is the controller. I'm not sure how much I'll like the dual trackpad it's sporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
