Half a year ago many Phoronix members laughed at the thought of Steam for Linux. Now Valve is one of the biggest Linux pushers we have.

72.7hz Or Die.
I wrote a little bit about early computing, and the 60hz smoothness of direct-to-hardware assembly-coded machines.
And that low-latency configured (standard) linux kernels can do the same now.
A nice read, for a bit oldschool-info, and the current state of linux.
And why you should low-latency config your linux, before Left4Dead
Peace Be With You.

Originally posted by asdxNice, hopefully they'll discuss the issues they encountered, and they'll be able to work with the open-source driver developers and also with the hardware vendors and address any problems they find.
I hope they'll find a real solution for the S3TC fiasco too.
In the end, I expect that Valve ports their entire game collection to Linux and that Linux gets top-notch open-source graphics drivers, I also expect the problems with patents (S3TC) to go away.
It would be incredible to see Linux becoming a serious gaming platform and getting better drivers, more market share, etc.
Props to Valve for undertaking this effort and maybe soon we'll see other game makers taking the Linux plunge.

Should be very interesting to see
It's been a whie since a major developer ported one of their big franchises to Linux.. as opposed to indie games that don't really take full advantage of OpenGL and hardware.
