i guess i entered enough of your giveaways as a windows user (#NoShame. okay, maybe a little bit.) so i should pass this time.
i was planning to build a pc this winter but looks like i'll have to postpone it and when i actually do it, the free windows 10 upgrade will be probably over and i might become a linux user as well. let's hope much more games to be added to the linux catalogue by that time. :P

Sorry for being unclear. Guilt tripping you into giving away stuff was never my original intention (but I admit to being pleasantly surprised with the effect)!
What I meant to say was you don't really have to pass the current or upcoming giveaways in this thread just because you are not (yet?) using Linux as long as you are fully aware of the situation. (that little Izzard quote from the linked video just slipped into mind)
And you are most certainly welcome to join them as a contributing member of the SG community! Thank you very much! ^^
Besides… You won't find any Hatred in my threads at this time.

well, i'm not a windows fanboy. i don't want to pay for a licence key when there is a free and better alternative. i hope those steam machines will raise the demand for the linux versions of the games and make the devs think it twice before releasing their games windows-only.

off-topic: after isis' ankara and paris terror attacks, i finally got the strength to get rid of my terrorist hippie beard. i feel like i had a face transplant. it feels so weird. not sure if should rush back to home and chill out with some music or if i should seek for an adventure when i go out today.

May luck be on your side whichever option gets picked. Thanks!

Glad that linux support is getting better day after day, but I'm definitely not a Steam machines' fan

I don't care about steam machines (bc they are just normal PCs in fancy cases), but the more Linux games the better. I'd like to be able to play in games without being forced to buy another Windows bc of this shitty DirectX policy.

Not really, I have a pretty good computer, I do not see the point to get a steam machine also. Prefer to buy an Xbox 1 or a PS4 or both if I had the money :P but to be honest I am really interested on steam controller, and I will buy one for sure at some point, hopefully soon. And I hope you can use them later on with origin and gog galaxy

Oh, almost forgot about the handheld Steam Machine option - Smach Z (previously known as "SteamBoy")!
This one is still on the horizon, though, but pre-orders will start soon. A Thunderclap is planned for Nov 17.
Unlike, say, DragonBox Pyra it will be based around the x86-64 architecture, sporting a CPU from the Jaguar family.

Won't buy a pre-made steam machine, but continue to make my own personal linux "Steam machine" :)

Thanks for the giveaways. I wonder how much more support Linux will get because of SteamOS.

The Isle developers are looking for Linux users to help with some testing!
The game is still in alpha, but looks pretty promising.

I am actually pretty excited about Steam Machines. I'm sold on the idea of a Steam-powered living room since I truly sort of miss playing games in the living room like the good old days. Q_Q

Probably won't be buying a Steam machine soon as my PC serves me well for PC games and other purposes, and I enjoy my console for the rest. It's still a nice option and an alternative for people who find it useful, though. I would prefer it if Steam actually tried to make competitive sales on the other hand, and of course, Half-Life 3, instead of investing in hardware which might or might not be successful. Oh well.

November 10, 2015 - the official Steam Machines launch date - may just mark the beginning of a new era in GNU/Linux gaming. An actual franchise of hardware-diverse console-like devices based on the SteamOS platform (powered by the Linux kernel) can become huge in increasing both its userbase and the game library.
Whether or not Steam Machines take off, Valve has already become instrumental in removing a lot of Microsoft-focused blinders from PC Games developers. Almost 500 new (and old) titles have appeared in the SteamOS + Linux catalogue, and we are now in the 1600+ area in just about half-year's time.
UPDATES (Games that went live for SteamOS since this thread was created):
(Semi-random) SHOUTOUTS:
All that aside, I'm back with some SteamPlay goodies. ^^
Steadily running out of unrestricted gifts (and unbundled games, as time goes by), but I will try to keep this interesting and varied.
No complaints are accepted without "proper" GA for arguments. Lead by example. :P

And a quick reminder about the dedicated OS X and/or GNU/Linux Steamgifts groups (fragmentation everywhere!):
