This SteamOS clone is the best Linux distro for gamers
Quoting: This SteamOS clone is the best Linux distro for gamers | ZDNET —
When I attended my first Linux convention, a company named Loki Games had a booth that was rather popular. Linux users flocked to the booth to see if a company could bring to the operating system one thing it was sorely missing: Games.
Loki Games had already delivered several titles by porting them from Windows to Linux. I played several of those games (I still have a few, I believe) and found them to be very well done. The problem wasn't the company's ability but the users' willingness to pay for their products. In the end, Linux users didn't want to buy software. They had become so accustomed to getting all of their software for free that the idea of shelling out hard-earned cash was shocking.

Steam Client Update Brings Game Launch Stability
Valve has just rolled out a fresh update for the Steam client, which will be automatically downloaded for users, smoothing over several nagging quirks and boosting overall stability.
First, on the general fixes side, the client now preserves any changes made to your notes even when you’re offline. Previously, users risked losing annotations—a nuisance if you rely on Steam’s built-in note system to track in-game goals or mods.
Additionally, newly captured screenshots will show up immediately in your library’s screenshot list, rather than disappearing until you restart the client. Moreover, dialog windows—such as the game installation prompt and the refresh logon box—will now reliably appear in front of the main window, even when the client is in its compact “small mode.”
