Brilliant hint. Thanks.

Nvidia releases 364.16 Vulkan driver, improved Optimus support, improved multi-threaded scaling

What's the state of Optimus anyway? I thought it wasn't supported by the proprietary driver. Has that changed lately?

There's an open source Standalone Steam Controller Driver

Nice. It's worth trying it with games that don't work with Steam Controller, like Kopanito All-Stars Soccer or Mark of the Ninja for example.

Valve & HTC launch the Vive VR device, without Linux & SteamOS support
5 April 2016 at 11:27 pm UTC

This was expected. Valve released the VR performance test app for Windows only, so it was obvious that they are behind when it comes to SteamOS.

PAYDAY 2 on Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts & port report
24 March 2016 at 6:52 pm UTC

GTX 980m binary blob here. Works great. Didn't measure FPS or play with the settings. But at default settings (whatever that is) and 1080p resolution plus vsync it seems to be running at a solid 60fps.

How big is Linux gaming? Some estimates
14 March 2016 at 11:34 pm UTC

Valve need to take similar approaches in marketting to those used by console manufacturers. They should make deals with big studios to bring the famous AAA games on it and they need to market it to console gamers rather than PC gamers. If the likes of Call of Duty and Assassins Creed are released for SteamOS and they utilize Steam Controllers well then that will be good incentive to console gamers to start switching.

Microsoft's latest tactics show Gabe Newell of Valve was right to worry

On the other hand, Microsoft probably is doing what it's doing for the same reason that made Valve create SteamOS which is to protect their customer base. With mobile devices growing bigger than ever and Linux maturing Windows is set to lose more and more customers every year and so Microsoft is trying to move into a different model similar to that of Apple, because otherwise it will be hard for Windows to compete if they don't lock their customers into a complete ecosystem that goes beyond just Windows.
