Steam OS
After reading this post on Reddit about the unboxing of a Steam Machine, I’m very eager to see how well my own Linux machine will handle the Steam OS.

All boxes below ticked, except for the NVIDIA graphics card.

I’m hoping that the Steam OS will be the catalyst to get AMD drivers sorted for Linux… we can all dream 😉

I wonder how much the controllers will then cost?

What do you need to run SteamOS? Here's the hardware list from the FAQ:

  • Intel or AMD 64-bit capable processor
  • 4GB or more memory
  • 500GB or larger disk
  • NVIDIA graphics card (AMD and Intel graphics support coming soon)
  • UEFI boot support
  • USB port for installation
