brandonwh64 · Dec 11, 2012, 05:22 PM

Just installed steam for linux!

Easy Rhino · Dec 11, 2012, 05:24 PM

check this out. made my own steambox!!! not a bad price and i think it will play all valve titles very well and most AAA titles on medium settings. note that the sugo comes with a psu.

How would a A10-5800K fair for a steambox?

I don't know buddy.. Your setup should be a little stronger with the GTX 650... around 20-30% faster. I'd go your route, but it would be out of my budget... I want to get a GTX680,GTX670 or HD7970 after Christmas as well. I've priced the parts for a FM2 setup and with my spare parts laying around and i'll get out around 250-300 bucks.

EDIT: But if he buys a HD6670 to CF then he should be a little stronger... but we'll have to wait and see.

How much WINE knowledge does one need to play around with Steambuntu? Just the basics of how to install/open c: drive?

Wine is not need since steam has a native linux client.

I just confirmed Steam is going to have its own distro guys.

Don't anger him. He lives in Florida. Aren't Floridians one upside-down-penny away from going on a face eating rampage? At least, that is what I have learned from the news.

Well, if you wish to run an "installer .sh" you need to be root I suppose (assuming only the root user can write into all folders outside /home)..

Nouveau is not even having power management working: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix

Radeon is closer to FGLRX as it seems: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature
